Registered Veterinary Technicians (licensed RVTs) and Veterinary Nurses (on-the-job-trained Veterinary Nurses) are responsible for assisting the doctors, laboratory procedures, radiology, client communication, medical procedures, record keeping, pharmacy, hospital maintenance, operation and maintenance of instruments and equipment, inventory, daily treatment of hospitalized patients, rehabilitation, assisting in the operating room and maintenance of the OSHA and Hazardous Materials safety programs.

 

At AMC, our technicians and nurses are highly trained and have substantial experience in the field. Our nurses typically have three to five years experience in the veterinary field. Although we have occasionally been fortunate to hire Nurses or Technicians with excellent skills that they gained through prior employment or education, most of our Nursing staff have been trained on-the-job here at Animal Medical Center. As a progressive, team-centered practice, we depend on our nurses to perform many varied and important duties that require extensive training and skills. Since there is a limited number of licensed RVTs or experienced nurses available, we have a formal training and mentoring program to help transform our new hires into exceptional veterinary medical personnel, no matter their prior experience. Every successful team member is committed to excellence in themselves and their team, devoted to the field of veterinary medicine and dedicated to learning
