Usage of the title “Nurse” to unlicensed individuals misleads and often endangers the public. This poses a serious threat to patient care and safety. Reserving the title “Nurse” for only those meeting the legal and educational standards allows the public to consult with professionals required to adhere to professional codes of practice and ethics.
