3. (3) use the initials "H.F.A." or any other words, letters, abbreviations, or insignia indicating or implying that the individual is a health facility administrator or assistant health facility administrator licensed under this article;
  unless the individual is licensed as a health facility administrator under this article.
(c) A licensed health facility administrator may not practice health facility administration in more than one (1) health facility at the same time.
