Registered Veterinary Technician
($15-$20/hour)
Is vet teching a game that you win by being one step ahead of the doctor, patient, and client needs?
Is the reason that you love veterinary medicine the fact that no two days are alike—you actually enjoy rolling with the punches?
Do you view the hissing cat, the on-guard German Shepherd, and the wiggly Doodle pup each as individuals with a story to be understood? Can you find a way to make each of those pets more comfortable and their owners less anxious?
Are you the kind of person that feels a great sense of accomplishment by finishing a task list before the end of your shift?
Do you love choreographing patients’ care and workflow to make the most of a day?
