Overview
This bill prohibits unlicensed individuals from using the title "Nurse." It amends existing state law to specifically prevent people without a valid license as a registered nurse or practical nurse from calling themselves "Nurse," using the abbreviation "R.N.", or representing themselves as such. The bill also clarifies restrictions on related titles and designations, particularly for advanced practice nurses, to ensure accurate identification of licensed professionals.
