NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 13:18:44 CDT lez, i am a wisconsin licensed alcohol and drug counselor.
i have a private practice and take care of folks who have "gone through the system", run out of insurance, most have been through treatment, at least once, a lot of them suffer with depression, and most have relapsed over and over.
i DO NOT prescribe, i leave that to qualified doctors.
i DO NOT sponsor them, i make sure they find one though.

rosie ************************************************** The above 3 "googled" posts are representative of lots more of her allegations of her educational and professional superiority over the common garden variety drunk.
I got to wondering just what these alleged credentials actually encomp***ed and what Rosie was actually legally entitled to do in WI. Big surprise!
According to the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing: BARRETT , ROSEMARY D.
Address: HARTLAND, WI 53029 Credential Number: 7761 Profession: Licensed Practical Nurse Current Through: 30-APR-05 Status: ACTIVE Eligible to Practice: YES (MULTI STATE) Granted on: 26-JAN-68 Discipline: No Specialty Description: Despite Rosie's ***ertions of being a "retired ICCU/ER nurse", the State of WI defines a LPN as one who performs "for compensation any simple acts in the care of convalescent, subacutely or chronically ill, injured, or infirm persons which does not require any substantial nursing skill, knowledge, or training, or the application of nursing principles based on biological, physical, or social sciences, or the understanding of the cause and effect".
So, basically, Rosie has retired from a "career" as a glorified bed-pan jockey, albeit in the ER. Her real training qualifies her to empty drool cups in nursing homes. If one does the math from her alleged sobriety date and her stated age at that time, she would have likely graduated from high school in 1965 or 1966. Graduating from "nursing school" in 1967 and licensed in January, 68 would hardly leave time for a 4 year BS in Nursing degree, now, would it?
Further research into Rosie's alleged credentials produced another bombshell.
From the Wisconsin Certification Board Website:.
Credential Search Results Last Name: Barrett First Name: Rosemary Middle Initial: D Status: Lapsed Eligible to Practice: NO Counselor Credential: Registered Alcohol & Drug Counselor Credential Number: 10427 Date Credentialed: Paid Through: 4/15/1999 http://wisconsincertificationboard.org/credentialsearch.htm Apparently, Rosie may have registered with Wisconsin Certification authorities that she had the intention of taking the tests for licensure, but never got credentialed and allowed the application to lapse.
So, we have a LPN p***ing herself off as a RN, spouting "knowledge" about anti-depressants from her lofty perch as a medical professional, and practicing as an addictions counselor without a license. I wonder what the penalties are in WI for "having a private practice" without a license?
I'm sure Rosie has a perfectly plausible explanation for all these "misunderstandings". And I'm sure she'll address all this right away.
Either that, or I'll be dismissed as another "time-wasting Googler" and branded a malcontent spewing crap and tossed into the dungeon with McGregor, Moonraker, BlueMoon, Shawster, Virt, The Goz, JB, and all the others who have dared question Rosie's honesty.
I'm betting no explanation or answer is forthcoming.

In light of this alleged expose perhaps you too would care to sign your name to same rather than hiding behind an alias.
Your information you have given should have been shared directly with the subject and not with the newsgroup at large.
Clearly a vindictive, hateful move even if it is all true.
Kindly come forth with your name and city or desist this type of messaging.

If what has been said about you is untrue, why not say that it is untrue. Is it because you know that if you did, you *would* be lying ?

I don't see how anyone who posts many messages crictising/denigrating other peoples' recovery could not be thinking that they are in superior, at least in terms of their recovery.

So you're a member of an organisation that is not an organisation, you are anonymous but not anonymous, you reposted information you claim should be private, and your handle is Batty?
At least that figures.

This is from someone who is too chickensh--- to sign their own name after they outed a regular poster here. If you are one of the regulars who routinely trash rosie, you should be really really proud of yourself.

Isn't there that chiropractor-oriented "certificate" in "addictionology"? Such industry conjured "certificates" aren't the same as various licensure by state authority. But they can sound like "credential". Most try to lobby to get blessed by various other professions and authorities, although the turf wars are typically lively.
But, you've included me among folks concerned about rosie's "honesty".
I'm probably not especially numbered there. I'll leave that to others, maybe. I've more queried any supposedly "medical" or "scientific" basis for such proactive, advocacy ***ertions regarding taking certain drugs, supposedly for certain purposes and upon specific premises.
Otherwise, I couldn't be more sure that there's any number of various "practitioners" of all kinds of things, or that there are any number of people that favor taking drugs, for many reasons, and according to many differing ideas about them.

Quit yer pickin' om Chiropractors. I spent 8 years of my life going to school to become a licensed Chiro in Canada, 4 of those years at a recognized Canadian University, and another 4 at CMCC in Toronto. You haven't got a clue regarding the educational prerequisite of becoming a Chiropractor. I call myself Doctor, and am qualified to make diagnoses. So go fly a fart, Virt....

Don't mind Virt, Stuart. He is enamored of quackwatch.com where the MD who runs it has some kind of mad-on against chiropractors.
