Meagan Parks wrote and amazing article on why we should reconsider celebrating tech week! Don't get me wrong, when I first read the title I was a little taken back; however, after reading the article my mind was blown! As veterinary professionals it's okay to keep an open mind and understand that some of these "bandaids" are used to cover the deeper bigger issue. So ask yourself what is the real reason we celebrate veterinary techn...

On today's episode I had the opportunity of chatting with another pet parent, Kia, who is a human nurse, but has a love for the animal world. Kia and her husband took the liberty of caring for a colony of feral cats and realized how fulfilling it is to care for these fur babies! It's safe to say their fur baby Lunabell has different opinions on the matter! Keep doing what you are doing Kia, the world needs more people like you!

Once I graduated, I was excited to get my tech career started, but boy I had my work cut out for me. This hospital was probably the worst place I worked at. From unsanitary conditions to crappy medicine being performed, I learned quick on what I could tolerate and what I couldn't. One thing I can say I've learned is if I cannot coexist with the doctor I am working with, it's time for me to go🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️💨

On today's episode I wanted to share my experience of how I made sure I kept my education first and the job second. After graduating I've seen so many companies encourage veterinary technician students to practice their skills as techs, but not encouraging them to finish school. Why work for the reward if I already have it? For anyone in school, never allow a job to make you feel bad for putting your education first. It's exciting ...
