Description

Making the decision to become a registered veterinary technician is huge. To help you prepare for the road ahead, the vets sit down with Leslie Ferguson. Aside from being a registered veterinary technician, Leslie also holds a bachelor's degree from Purdue University in liberal arts and writing. Leslie walks future vet techs through what to expect from the salary, the role of a vet tech as a mentor within a hospital, and how you can decide to go from an assistant position to a registered vet tech.

The vets also ask her about how experienced vet techs and vets can create a better atmosphere for newer vets who are joining the hospital, how vet tech trainees can get hands-on experience, and why finding a team that celebrates you and appreciates your work is incredibly important as a new vet tech who is trying to find their footing in this industry.
