   So I am not trying to "jazz" up my post with fonts and colors!! I was trying to use the quote button because I am new to this site and didn't quote and reply correctly so I am not sure what happened after I hit submit. No need to be rude because I wa...

2. Veterinary Nurse

   enc123 replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

   What the ANA thinks is irrelevant to me. They are constantly sending annoying emails about their political agenda, so I've learned to ignore them. The individual states and BON are the ones with the practice act. My [COLOR=#000000]comment about ANA i...

3. Veterinary Nurse

   enc123 replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think it minimizes what we do. I don't really care if they want to call themselves nurses. Hell, veterinarians call themselves DOCTORS all the time. Technically Vets are doctors. They become a (DVM) doctor of [COLOR=#000000]veterinary medicin...

   enc123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello allnurses I have a question for you all. What do you think about the term Veterinary nurse. I came across a user on social media using that term and stating that she was a veterinary nurse and it was told to her that the title of "nurse" was a...

5. I hate nursing

   enc123 replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

   HI Neezy I want to ask first how old are you? You do not have to answer but maybe you have time to change and do something else. I would also recommend that you finish your RN. This will open up more options for you where you do not have to necessari...

   enc123 replied to jack1971's topic in New Nurse

   My first nursing job out of nursing school was pediatric home health. Did you ever think to try that. I spent my 12hr shift sitting next to the bed of a 3 year old who was total care. She couldn't move, talk, or communicate in anyway with me other th...

   The charge nurse is a new thing that is being tried in our clinic. I was the first to be assigned the role. My boss stated that I always stepped up when she was tied up and she realized that our clinic should have a charge nurses, so she put me in it...

8. Bullied by a colleague

   enc123 replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

   This is the issue I have dealt with with this person. I see a counselor every so often for my own piece of mind, and spoke with her about my work issues and we discussed asserting myself but it did not work on her. After I told her that she was not ...

   So yes this is a real posting and yes this is something i am actually going through. As for my writing, I am not writing a formal paper. I graduated 3 weeks ago and do not have to focus on a perfect paper and perfect grammar. As for the question abou...

    I am writing because I have another nurse that I work with who is very domineering and has an very bossy personality. When she first started in our clinic a little over a year ago she immediately rubbed everyone the wrong way and non of the other nur...

11. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    enc123 replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually not true. As an FNP you are trained in primary care but you can work anywhere you please and do not have to obtain more schooling. I am an AGNP and started off as an FNP. As an AGNP this puts me in primary care in the adult role wher...

    enc123 replied to Meridian2's topic in Relations

    You have gotten excellent advice the problem here is you don't want to hear and except it. You only want people to agree with you but by your comments and response to others you have proved yourself to be incompetent and won't take accountability for...

13. The Fifth Vital Sign

    enc123 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    But we do have some ways to determine this. We can take a look at vitals. More often than not when a person is abusing the narcotics pulse rate is going to drop bp is going to drop and you see the classic falling asleep mid sentence. I am not saying...

15. The Fifth Vital Sign

    enc123 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with you more. Pain is more often than not under treated and stigmatized and people are stereotyped. I am a nurse who started off as a molecular biologist now moving into the NP realm and guess what my specialty will be? Pain managme...
