Except as otherwise provided herein, this chapter confers no authority to practice medicine or surgery.
Notes
Limits the chapter from conferring authority to practice medicine or surgery except where the chapter otherwise expressly provides such authority. The rule confines chapter-based nursing authority to what is otherwise authorized and prevents the chapter itself from being read as a general authorization to practice medicine or surgery.
