  1. Pet Nurse??

    reesern63 replied to Fuzzy's topic in General Nursing

    As long as they clarify that they are "veterinary" nurses, I don't see a problem. If they don't make the distinction, then it is an issue. I'm a bit puzzled why veterinary technicians would be...

  2. So is hospital nursing better than long term care?

    reesern63 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just the the thought of having to do med pass in an LTC is enough to make me cringe. I can't imagine the circumstances that would make me look for a job in LTC; you're almost beaten before you've...

  3. Arrogant PA's

    reesern63 replied to phillyrn10's topic in Emergency

    They can be difficult. I suppose if you really want to make a point, you could say, "Let me run that past a doctor..." But that would just foster hostility, wouldn't

  4. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    reesern63 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have to be careful about overly "romaticizing" the dying process. It can also be pretty awful, even with the best support and the best medical interventions. Poetry is nice, but I doubt...

  5. What do you think of the Med Tech route?

    reesern63 replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You practice under the physician's license. Your scope is defined by what the doctor will/will not let you do. As long as there is no confusion over your title and you're not being called an "office...

  7. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    reesern63 replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's the problem: They can do whatever the doc wants them to do because they operate under his license. You don't know what you don't

  8. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    reesern63 replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Having spoken with linda privately on this issue, I can tell you that she does not at all mean to belittle LPNs or ADN/Diploma nurses. I'm a diploma nurse and have just started going back to finish...

  10. Telemetry VS PACU GN

    reesern63 replied to nyspecialist's topic in General Nursing

  13. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    reesern63 replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know if you remember those old advertisements in magazines for modeling schools that would say "Be a Model...Or Just Look Like One." That's what I feel like we're dealing with anymore. "Be a...

  15. Co-worker stole my ID

    reesern63 replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that while I disagree 100% with tom, I do understand where he's coming from, now that I know what he's experienced. That must have been horrible for you,

  16. Co-worker stole my ID

    reesern63 replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    And more than likely would wind up with substance abuse disorders of their own trying to cope with the massive stress that would result. I think there are few "sins" for which you cannot be forgiven...

  17. I'm sure I'll get 10,000 replies saying to run, run, run from this place!

    reesern63 replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Short and sweet: "This letter is to inform you that I am resigning my position as (your position) effective (date). Sincerely, megananne" Do not go into details. You never know how a letter like that...

    reesern63 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Indeed. Just because it's not American does not mean it isn't good. We would do well to take some lessons from other healthcare

    reesern63 replied to TraumaGirl1018's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh... For all you know, this "sour apple" could have had a million things on her mind on that moment and your greeting might not have even registered. Unless you can read minds, you really don't...
