Disclaimer

A medical care provider may be defined as a doctor of medicine, Doctor of Osteopath, Nurse Practitioner or Veterinarian.

All Species Nurse does not provide independent medical service(s) to the general public, unless referred to by "partnered" facilities as an employee of the referring partnered facility specific to the needs of the client as agreed to by All Species Nurse, the specific partnered facility and the client/patient under the direction of a Medical Care Provider.

All Species Nurse may choose to contract with and/or for independent professional contractors and/or clients as agreed to by All Species Nurse with the contractor/client. This may be clarified through consents which may or may not include oversite of the medical care provider, depending on the situation or circumstances. A Medical Care Provider is necessary if follow up for evaluation is determined during any episodic situation that All Species Nurse acts upon in any rescue attempt. It is the choice, however, of the client/patient (if alert and oriented) or others' responsible for the Client/patient (if the client/patient is under-aged, disoriented, unconscious or suffers from a diagnosed deteriorating brain disease) to accept or deny the ongoing evaluation and/or treatment of a medical care provider as suggested by All Species Nurse. 

Others' responsible for a client/patient may be defined as a parent, power of attorney, guardian or other as defined by law as the decision maker of the client/patient.

All Species Nurse and it's members are not responsible for all or any client/patients' process or outcome if the client(s)/patient(s), or those responsible for the client/patient as defined above denies further care and/or evaluation as advised by All Species Nurse and/or All Species Nurse team members by a medical care provider, also defined above.

Should services include standard nursing care, All Species Nurse will practice under the Nurse Practice Act set forth by the State Board of Nursing under R4-19-402, "Standards Related to Registered Nurse Scope of Practice" in an effort to provide safe, quality, preventative and continued managed care of the patient. All Species Nurse may contact and work with the individuals' medical care provider or a medical care facility if specialized nursing care is necessary.

Article 5: Emergency Aid 32-2261

Such services will be financed through out of pocket cost of the client; not through medicaid, medicare or medical insurance. It is the responsibility of the patient or guardian of the patient to be responsible for such expenses for services provided by All Species Nurse as agreed upon through the medical care provider and/or the patient or patient's guardian receiving care and All Species Nurse and or It's members.

"Partnered" facilities may be defined as facilities seeking All Species Nurse as a contracted employee (not as regular staff or PRN staff of that facility, and by using a separate tax ID number under All Species Nurse, LLC) for the purpose of promoting applications of services defined and agreed to by All Species Nurse according to Standards of Practice of the Arizona State Board of Nursing and Veterinary Board for Veterinary Technicians.

Payments for services provided by All Species Nurse will be made in a single payment or agreed payments to either All Species Nurse or the partnered facility by the client. If All Species Nurse is working with a partnered facility, then All Species Nurse will receive a percent agreed upon between the partnered facility and All Species Nurse, with All Species Nurse legally recognized as an employee of the so called "partnered" facility. Otherwise, services provided by All Species Nurse (such as online consultations via e-mail, blog sites, MySpace page, bulletins, etc.) may not be charged to the client.

All Species Nurse can accept or refuse donations (may or may not be financial). Payment for services does not indicate that All Species Nurse is obligated to the referring source. All Species Nurse is not responsible for paid or unpaid services that do not achieve positive outcomes, or if the client misuses such services or debates consulting efforts. Claims against All Species Nurse is simply useless in the court of law since All Species Nurse is in a position of a not at fault jurisdiction under what is covered under consultation, mentoring and educational rights of an independent professional that works through or with oversight of other medical professionals and/or recognized facilities and/or organizations.

Should All Species Nurse be present at the time of any air, land or water emergencies and life saving efforts are provided to independent parties or groups (human and/or animal) by All Species Nurse, All Species Nurse is not responsible if such efforts fail or if All Species Nurse is not able to provide any services.

Thank you,
All Species Nurse
