I am a Veterinaty Technician student and has been for several years. I have studied hard, stayed up to the early morning and then to go to my 8-5 job, cried, screamed, took exams in potiental labor, and prayed to finish what I have always wanted to be. A licensed Veterinary Technician. I want to be able to do what I have been trained and taught to do without being scared that a uneducated assistant is going to swoop in and take it form me. Placing IV catheters is a risky tasks to do and should not be done by assistants that has not been taught how to!
