The Vatican actually has a department or two that tacks real and purported episcopal lines.

I think my favorite is the one who enrolled in a seminary and started consecrating seminarians in the middle of the night!

There are lots of these offshoots, some of which actually have orders. You sometimes find them with almost as many clergy as faithful, both of which can be counted on fingers . . .

I live in the U.S., yes, and for reference, the job in question is at a Methodist (I think) hospital in Florida in some kind of ministry program

It is quite possible she is an ordained Methodist. Reverend would not be an unusual title, nor would a devotion to Mary be unheard of.

One of my favorite Rosary books is written by a Methodist.
