Certainly an RN is qualified to give a shot and understand the dosage recommendations and need for quality control. All these things are legal as well. The only reason the rabies shot can’t be given by anyone other than a vet is because any time some disease effects the human population, special precautions have to be made to insure it’s done properly. Again, not saying that most breeders should give shots, but this wouldn’t affect my judgment on the breeder’s qualification as a good breeder one way or the other. |
Nancy, I think that you missed what I was pointing out in my original post. So I will clarify further my observation and why I still hold the same opinion.
Below is the part of the original post that I took issue with and it was not regarding an RN giving vaccines. My issue is with the bold
RED sentence.

Anyone can go to the local tractor supply and pick up a variety of vaccines to be used on their domesticated pets. But the part that is overstepping her scope as a nurse and that I take issue with is the part in
RED. A vaccination record and a Veterinary Health Certificate are two totally different things. The VHC is to be signed by a
Licensed Veterinarian and certified the HEALTH of a puppy.
Here is a link so that you can see what I am referring:

Why is a CICU nurse stepping into the scope of practicing Veterinary Medicine.
I don't care how well regarded you are on the floor of the CICU it's still
practicing Veterinary Medicine without a license.
I am also taken aback by her website, where she once again uses her RN signature to promote the sale of her puppies. What does this have to do with breeding? It's a marketing ploy as far as I am concerned.
