Are Vet Techs Nurses? Why the Internet Erupted—and What the Real Debate Is About

A viral video from a popular “human nurse” influencer asking if veterinary technicians are “nurses” recently sparked a social media firestorm, but the outrage may be missing the real issue. In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, go beyond the headlines to explore what's truly at stake in the “vet nurse” debate: professional identity, title protection, and the public's understanding of veterinary medical roles. While thousands weighed in online, some supporting the comparison, others fiercely rejecting it, Ward and Mossor ask whether these internet debates are distracting from the bigger, systemic problem: the lack of legally protected titles for credentialed veterinary technicians in many U.S. states. They explore the emotional responses from both veterinary and human healthcare communities, examine the practical implications of inconsistent terminology, and call for stronger advocacy, unity, and legislative engagement. This episode challenges listeners to move past online outrage and toward meaningful real-world change. If you've ever wondered why words like “veterinary technician,” “nurse,” and “assistant” matter so much, or what we can do to protect and elevate our profession, this conversation is a must-listen. As Beckie suggests, skip watching this nurse influencer's videos and join NAVTA and contact your state veterinary medical Board to demand title protection for credentialed veterinary technicians. #VetTechLife #VeterinaryTechnician #VeterinaryMedicine #VetMed #VetTechProblems #VetTechPride #VetNurse #TitleProtection #CredentialedNotConfused #SupportVetTechs #ProtectTheTitle #VetTechAdvocate

When a customer chooses the cheapest option, is it really because of price or because of how it was presented? In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James “J-Dub” Walker reveal why customers default to low-price decisions—and how techs unknowingly reinforce that bias. Packed with real-world roleplay and proven frameworks, this episode teaches you how to present pricing with confidence, educate customers without confusion, and protect the value of your premium work. You'll learn how to: -Present prices top-down to anchor value -Avoid confusing customers with too many options at once -Leverage the psychology of loss aversion and consensus -Build trust while still selling premium -Reframe pricing conversations to highlight long-term value Mentioned in This Episode: → Only 18% of customers actually buy the cheapest option → Why techs often “lead the witness” toward low-cost picks → The importance of slowing down when presenting pricing → Robert Cialdini's Influence  → Real roleplay examples that build confidence in price delivery

Seis ministros defendem que é dever das plataformas impedir espontaneamente a circulação de publicações criminosas. O único voto divergente até ontem foi o de André Mendonça. O STF ainda vai definir critérios para responsabilização das empresas. Os ministros apresentaram propostas distintas e o plenário terá de equilibrá-las.

From false pregnancy tests being ignored… to untrained staff administering meds… to surgeons leaving the OR mid-procedure—this episode is not fiction. It's Paula's real-life experience, and it will make you think twice about who you're trusting with your body and your life. We unpack the dark truth about how cutting corners in plastic surgery is often about one thing: money. And while the glamor of board certification and big social media followings may lure you in, what happens after you go under is what matters most. This is not about fear. It's about being informed.
