Not so many years ago, admission to a nursing home, skilled nursing facility or assisted living facility was tantamount to a death sentence.  With the advent of rehabilitative services, more residents of such facilities are returning to home following a short stay.

One of the major legal issues in nursing relates to the question “Who is qualified to utilize the title of ‘nurse’ in the course of providing care and instruction to patients and family members?”

A medical secretary or medical assistant employed within a physician’s office who identifies himself/herself to patients as a “nurse” may be treading on dangerous medico legal ground.  The education and training one must complete in order to become a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is far more intensive than is required for technical assistants such as a medical secretary or medical assistant.
