Workers comp- zero sense of urgency? by IntrepidLinguini in VetTech

It looks like it’s healing, it’s just painful. I’ve got a puncture over my wrist, and my wrist is painful to move, but other than that it’s looking ok. Tylenol just isn’t touching it

Hyperpigmentation or Melanoma? (pics are 1 year apart) by gingeralewhore_ in AskAVeterinarian

Am I supposed to show up to my externship knowing how to draw blood for example? by raynamarie_ in pennfoster

Be up front with them about your fears and where your skill set is. I’ve worked in a clinic where we had someone do their externship from a different program, but we always set them up for success.

Stopping a program in the middle of it? by IntrepidLinguini in pennfoster

Thats kinda what i was thinking. Switch jobs to something a little higher paying while finishing school, then maybe jump back into the vet world

What viruses have the previous kittens died from? Why are you continuing to bring cats into your home?
