💚 Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month 💚
May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month (VNAM), where we highlight and appreciate all the incredible work Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) do within our industry!
Each day, we'll be posting one part of an RVN's job role to highlight the important role they play within practice.
What is an RVN?
An RVN is a Registered Veterinary Nurse that has earned a professional qualification and registered with the RCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) to follow strict professional standards.
RVN is an extremely versatile role from assisting in surgery, monitoring anaesthetics, running clinics and consultations, undertaking additional training and advanced certificates to better their skills and work alongside Veterinary surgeons to care for your pet and protect their welfare.
