    As a fellow vet tech I get the question from people A LOT “Oh you’re a vet tech, are you studying to become a veterinarian?” and my answer is NOPE. And it’s not because I don’t wanna go through schooling or I don’t think I am capable, it’s simply because I LOVE being a technician/vet assistant. It is so hands on with all the technical things and it’s an EXTREMELY important role in vet med. I love it so much and am 100% content with my position as a vet tech.

For a few years, between discussing with my super professional mom; whose an RN/ lawyer and my inner worries and doubts, I worried about going back to school to pursue my passion of animals. My gran always told me that I had a way with animals and that I should have a career with animals. You ladies helped ease my anxiety a bit.

    I have been working with dogs since out of highschool by being a dog groomer, I have been dog grooming! I loved my clients and each and every dog that came through the door.
    Unfortunately due to carpal tunnel, I needed to stop grooming and I luckily landed a job as a receptionist at an animal hospital.
    They are open for growth which is amazing and I have been considering going back to school to become a veterinary technician after I’ve recovered from surgery.

I now have 3 teenagers, and I am a stay at home Mom. Definitely still more drama at the two veterinary practices I worked at, but it was good training to deal with teenagers 😉😉😉. In all seriousness, I did very much enjoy my job. I loved the clients, the patients, the work, the interesting things that I saw each day. It was a good time for me.

I'm a RN and have been so for going on 5 years, but I've recently reached out to my local Humane Society to volunteer cause I'm not sure I really want to be a nurse. I wonder if I made the right choice in choosing nursing, since I haven't loved most of nursing and hospital politics for most of my career, so I'm hoping in volunteering I can see if this would be a better route.

    it's interesting to see how different schools are in different countries. In the Netherlands there are a few educations to be a vet technician and they're all really different. we have a lot of internships in clinics, a lot of tests to make before we graduate. it's a 4 year education in college and not a lot of people are going to work as a vet tech. most of the students do the education and learn to become something else like a veterinarian or something completely different.

    So, I am going to Vet Tech school at Penn Foster. They are supposed to be accredited however, I have heard some talk that it is not. As well as it is not a respected school in the Veterinary field. While my job is paying for this i am continuing with the courses. But, figured i would throw the question out there because, if it is not then I need to find a school that is.

I wanted to know your opinion and your thought process of becoming a vet tech even though you know you want to become a veterinarian.

    I intuitively turned down a preschool teaching assistant offer to pursue dog walking and becoming a vet tech instead... it almost sounds ridiculous typing it out. I am still studying ECED, but now I am actually gaining experience in what I aim to start working towards, instead of studying ECED and working on the product versus the process, which could look like getting myself experience working at a center. When it came down to it, after applying for so many positions and getting a few offers... I turned them all down, because I wanted to spend my time with animals instead of children (sorry little ones)
    I think I led with my gut on this one and that it wasn't an impulse, but also maybe it was

    • @simplecontinuous2343
      @simplecontinuous2343 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Staralexis58 Yt this depends on the state. We are trying to move away from on the job training to requiring a formal education. Keep an eye on NAVTA and AVMA articles regarding this! As of right now some states allow vet assistants/on the job technicians to do the same things as an RVT/CVT/LVT. So some places allow you to do the job without schooling. However, a lot of people are starting to advocate for attending an AVMA accredited vet tech program, graduating, and taking your necessary boards.

    I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to become a vet tech or veterinarian. I've been set on a large animal veterinarian for years but my parents are pushing for vet tech because they said that with all the insurances, licenses, and school debt you still make the same amount of money but I've seen that that's not the case. So I need some influence or advice.

    • @nataliasytch9234

      If you become a technician, you can always go on and become a doctor afterwards, especially if you find you love the field and enjoy studying. The tech experiences will help you become a better doctor in the long run. But if you invest all the time and money that it takes to become a vet doctor and then don't like it, you'll really be stuck. That's my perspective :)

The vet tech became so attached to my girl that she couldn’t be in the room when we put her to sleep. She ended up apologizing at the next appointment and it broke my heart a second time seeing how upset and regretful she was about a dog that wasn’t even her own 😔
