VSH is extremely proud of our veterinary technicians and assistants.  We search nationally for nursing staff who not only have the knowledge and initiative, but also the teamwork and compassion that is necessary to work in a demanding facility such as ours. 

To be called a veterinary technician, a person must complete a two or four year degree in veterinary technology and then pass national and state certifying examinations. Twelve different training programs are represented among our current nursing staff.  Fifty percent of our nurses have moved from another state to work with us. 

Many opportunities exist for the nurses to learn from each other and from our specialists.  We have created a lecture series for the nurses with increasing degrees of complexity that is presented by our doctors and outside experts.  This continuing education program is recognized by the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board.
