Action:
Acceptance of veterinary nurse degree
Action 5703
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Board proposes amending regulations to reflect the Board’s approval of the position statement of the American Veterinary Medical Association on terminology for veterinary nurse as a veterinary technician. The proposed regulations amend the licensure requirements for veterinary technicians to accept a degree from an accredited program in veterinary technology that results in a degree in “veterinary nursing.” The proposed regulations for licensure by endorsement are also amended to accept the credential of a person who has been practicing in another jurisdiction as a veterinary nurse. In Virginia, the Board will continue to license applicants as veterinary technician as that is the title recognized in the Code of Virginia. |
