In an emergency, every second counts! 🚨

Veterinary nurses trained in RECOVER CPR have the confidence, skills, and leadership needed to respond effectively when a patient experiences cardiopulmonary arrest.

Through the RECOVER Initiative’s partnership with VNCA, VNCA members receive an exclusive 20% discount on RECOVER’s 2024 Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support online courses.

Marie Gentile, LVT at Ark Veterinary Hospital, shared how RECOVER training made a difference for her:
“RECOVER has deepened my love for emergency medicine in general practice and given me the opportunity as an instructor to inspire that same passion in others. Making CPR education accessible to all veterinary professionals ensures that when a critical patient arrives or a code occurs, because they can often happen outside emergency and critical care settings, teams feel confident, prepared, and equipped with the knowledge and tools to act successfully.”

Prepare with confidence, act with skill, and save lives when it matters most!
