Is Amber Vinson a NP, PA, RN, LPN, NA? What are her qualifications?
My cleaning lady calls herself a ‘nurse’ because she took care of an elderly woman for a few months. I’m uncertain whether the cleaning lady finished high-school.
It appears anyone who ever applied a Band-Aid to another person likes to call themselves ‘nurse’.
This is an interesting tidbit put out by Billy Martin:
“Worried because Ms. Pham had become ill, Ms. Vinson was assured that her fears were unfounded, and her request for special arrangements to bring her home a day early were denied, the family’s statement said.”

“Vinson lived in Akron, Ohio, and went to Kent State University, where she received degrees in 2006 and 2008, the university said. She was licensed as a registered nurse in Ohio on February 2, 2009, and remains licensed there, records show, though she has since moved to Dallas. She became an R.N. in Texas on August 22, 2012.”
