    Fuzzy replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Was John Hinckley truely psychotic when he shot President Reagan? Apparently the jury thought so. He is still receiving the help that he needs. Why can't Andrea Yates receive the same type of...

  2. Got Any Tips For Post-op Lap Chole ? Want To Share Your Experience? Any Tips ?

    Fuzzy replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    I had mine out last August. It was a cakewalk. I was sweating when the surgeon told me that I might have to be opened up. I was dx'ed with gallstones over 10 years ago so I may not have been a good...

    Fuzzy replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    I'm bipolar type 1. I also rapid cycle which makes things quite interesting and aggrevating. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago. Two months after I was diagnosed, I was in the state hospital for 8...

  4. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

    Fuzzy replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I like names that can be spelled and pronounced easily since my own name caused me much grief when I was growing up. Not many people could spell let along pronounce it properly because it was unusual...

  5. Cats and babies

    Fuzzy replied to Paprikat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Paprikat, Congratulations! Working in a veterinary hospital, we get this question all the time. We recommend that the kitties not be allowed unsupervised in the baby's room. It is safe to let the...

  6. Blood Glucose of 1700!!!

    Fuzzy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I work in veterinary medicine. Dogs and cats do get diabetes and we do see our share of type 2 because of lifestyle. The highest glucose that I have seen was 900. It was in a 12 year old cat that...

  7. Pet peeves!

    Fuzzy replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    Cell Phones, HATE them. We have signs on our doors that say "Please Turn Off Cell Phones". Do you think that people can read? no. So the dog is jumping off the table (I'm a vet. tech.), the child...

  8. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Fuzzy replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hello, I'm glad that you are doing better. The bad news is that health insurance will be a problem since you have been diagnosed with a mental illness. The insurance companies consider it a...

  10. How did you hear about allnurses.com?

    Fuzzy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I heard about it on a veterinary technician website. Fuzzy,

  11. Um, more than I wanted to know...

    Fuzzy replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have the same problem. I'm a vet tech so I get to hear all the animal ailments while I'm at the grocery store, the dentist, the doctor, the gym, etc. I live in a small town so I'm well known....

  12. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    Fuzzy replied to admorn03's topic in General Nursing

    When people ask me, "How will I know that it's time to consider euthanasia?", I tell them to list three things that their pet loves to do. These things cannot include eating and/or sleeping as most...

  13. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    More people need to so the same with their pets. I wonder how many people realize that in some veterinary hospitals, the kennel assistant is actually the person inducing and monitoring anesthesia....

  14. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Fuzzy,

  15. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a vet tech not a nurse. It saddens me when I go to a US vet website that calls their techs nurses like http://www.remondvet.com. I'm not sure if the vet is ignorant or the website designer....

  16. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    The list of vet tech programs from this site are NOT AVMA accredited! This is another case where if a person were to spend their hard earned money for these courses they would NOT be allowed to sit...

  17. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    Fuzzy replied to admorn03's topic in General Nursing

    Ah but there is hospice care for animals. I see it all the time as I'm a vet tech. The hospice care occurs at home with a loving owner providing the comfort care and a modern veterinarian providing...

  18. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Actually my name tag has my name, my title (CVT) as well as the hospital name. I wear it proudly. Plus my (and the other technician in the office) certification certificate with my current renewel...

  19. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Those correspondence courses are NOT AVMA accredited vet tech programs. People who take them are just tossing their money down the toliet. A person that wastes their money on these programs will not...

  20. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire See that's what so sad. A vet cannot afford to pay someone $15/hr (average wage for most credentialed techs nationwide). This vet probably hires some little "I just loooove animals"...

  21. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Fuzzy replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my $.02 for what it's worth. Veterinary technology is a new field when compared to nursing. The first vet tech program was AVMA accredited in 1973. At that time technicians were called animal...

  22. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Fuzzy replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm also on seroquel but not for long. Talk about nightmares!! I'd rather not sleep....nasty stuff.

  23. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Fuzzy replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It's baaack. Life is icky again. We're playing with the drugs so I'm almost incapable of working somedays. I just want the whole thing to go away. I'm so weird that I can hardly stand myself.

  24. Funny patient names by nurses

    Fuzzy replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    I work with animals. If you think that people give their children weird names, look through the files at a vet hospital. We have a horse named "Peckerhead", a dog named "Budlight", several cats...
