  1. RNFA 'S

    Alnamvet replied to CATHY RNFA's topic in Operating Room

    Plastics is still not regulated, per se...any md or do can have a manufacturers rep come to his office and give him an inservice on inplants, etc, and the doc can start doing extreme makeovers at...

  2. What do you do if a doctor yells at you?

    Alnamvet replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    The handfull who tried that crap with me over the last 20 years have lived and learned to regret it. The only difference between me and a miscreant MD is a salary as far as I'm

  5. African-American male Nurse Practitioners

    Alnamvet replied to Geoff's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. RNFA 'S

    Alnamvet replied to CATHY RNFA's topic in Operating Room

    Never left Mike...it's apparent that there is still great confusion, or selective research regarding the huge difference between CSA's and Surgical Techs. The "obscure" program you allude to in the...

  8. RNFA 'S

    Alnamvet replied to CATHY RNFA's topic in Operating Room

    But I have never left, and as I can see, there is a selective ignoring of the differences between a surgical tech and a Certified First Assistant. The program here in VA may be obscure to you, but it...

  9. Taking out the trash

    Alnamvet replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

  11. Just a note on the NP vs PA debate...

    Alnamvet replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PA's are not licensed, but certified, therefore they (PA's) only demonstrate having successfully completed a PA program, and pass a certfying exam. NP's are licensed...big difference when it comes to...

  12. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    California is the BEST for NP's since an MSN is not required to certify and license. There are still several NP certificate programs left in the US, California has 4 or 5 such programs; an example is...

    Alnamvet replied to WalkingInTheRain's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. Universal Health Care - Myths and Misconceptions

    Alnamvet replied to gwenith's topic in General Nursing

    Universal health care is a simple reality....just 10% taken off the defense budget, or 10% reduction/removal of 16th generation welfare cheats would adequately fund such a plan, with no change in...

  17. Taking out the trash

    Alnamvet replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

    We should all take some responsibility for the mess we make, and I would clean, change linens, disinfect beds and rails, but I won't until I see the md's pick up after themselves after a procedure,...

  25. Would you do this so others could get vacation...

    Alnamvet replied to BittyBabyGrower's topic in General Nursing

    :) Having to work extra so that newbies can get their vacations is ridiculous; if the newbies get burnt out so early in the game, than health care is definitely not for them. Now, I do know, that...
