Support
 
I support unlicensed but experienced techs to place catheters. Providing great care comes from years of experience not just a piece of paper saying you are certified. Many unlicensed techs are working their way through school and should be given this opportunity. I work in a fast pace , high volume practice so it's important for vets to be able to rely on their staff. If you are great at what you do, license or no license, let's get the job done and take care of these pets.
