Bill Summary
This bill includes the title "Nurse" among the titles, designations, or abbreviations that a person is prohibited by law to use unless the person is licensed as a professional nurse, practical nurse, or advanced practice nurse under P.L.1947, c.262 (C.45:11-23 et seq.) or P.L.1991, c.377 (C.45:11-45 et al.).
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of the title "Nurse" by any person who is not licensed as a professional nurse, practical nurse, or advanced practice nurse under New Jersey law. The bill amends existing laws to include the "Nurse" title among the designations that can only be used by licensed nurses. This is intended to prevent unlicensed individuals from representing themselves as nurses, which could mislead the public about their qualifications and training. The bill makes exceptions to allow the use of the title or services rendered in accordance with the religious tenets of recognized churches that practice healing through prayer.
