Bigger issues at hand LVTs should be placing IV caths
 

As a LVT that works with many assistants that are incredible at their job, I still believe that a licensed tech should be placing an IV catheter. We go to school for a reason and we should be recognized for our hard work and dedication we put in to our schooling in order to be able to better provide care for the animals. Don’t start taking things away from us to decrease our value, instead work to help LVT burnout and help pay your LvTs better so more will go to school for this!
