This year’s theme is “Veterinary Nursing In Action.” The theme speaks to the diversity we experience and animals we treat in the veterinary profession. In the training credentialed veterinary technicians receive, we must show proficiency and care of all species; with feathers, fur, scales, and skin. We are capable of offering nursing care to all of them. That’s a pretty AWESOME career!
