Message Subject Nurses/Healthcare peeps, can you answer a question, please?

Here's my take: some people give their dogs their worming stuff or vaccinations at home.
This may be legal - don't know, I was never a vet. But I was a nurse.

I agree totally with the rest of what you say, but you can get some vet meds, especially vaccinations and dewormers, without a prescription at a farm store, at least in many states. I have a vial of cow tetanus vaccination in my fridge right now.

Hm, all the evidence in this thread is leading me to believe she may be in a position higher than a CNA, since I know she gives injections at work.

Gonna have to do a little digging on her position before I go any further.

Thanks!

It sounds to me like, whatever the route, she's legitimately allowed to give injections if she's doing so at a public event. There are pathways to this that are much quicker than an RN degree.

Whether she's allowed to or not doesn't matter - she's not allowed to take them home and give them to family like that.

This would, by the way, be easy for someone running a flu shot clinic to do. They ship you the supplies, you may or may not ship back the sealed stuff that isn't used and ship the used sharps/opened vials separately to a disposal company. There's going to be an expected amount of waste (vials that were opened and not fully used, needles that got accidentally contaminated before use), so taking home a few doses would not be particularly difficult. But not legit.
