I strongly disagree with this change.  It will take Licenced Technicians a step backwards in value and support.  What is the point?  Those hospsitals who have assistants placing IV catheters now will continue to do so whether you change the policy or not.  Changing the policy just devalues the job of the licensed person who spent a lot of time and sacrafice achieving that title.  It also places the pets in jeopardy and their owners will have a lower respect for the licensed person whose job it is to ensure that pet is getting the best quality of care.
