   I understand where you are coming from. I respect your title and followed initial threads (some time ago) from our own forums to this site. I have been active on some threads and lurking for the majority. I do have to say that the attitude of superio...

5. Pet Nurse??

   mrparhamrvt replied to Fuzzy's topic in General Nursing

   Please believe me when I say ... no self respecting educated VT would perform surgery on a patient. They would understand the ramifications of their actions. We (as in the students I went through school with and the coworkers I currently work with) u...

   mrparhamrvt replied to Fuzzy's topic in General Nursing

   That is a sad analysis of the situation and degrading to those of us who have taken the time and spent the money for the education. I would bet that any one of my counterparts, all of them EDUCATED paraprofessionals against any of your so called OJT ...
