Recognition and appreciation were emphasized this week in Lynn Hall as the College of Veterinary Medicine celebrated Veterinary Nursing Week (known nationally as Veterinary Technician Week).  The college hosted daily events to show appreciation for the important role that veterinary nurses play as vital members of the veterinary team.  Across the college, people were encouraged to take time this week to say thank you to PVM\u2019s veterinary nurses, whether in clinics, labs, or the classroom, and to reflect on their significant skills and tireless efforts that are so important in providing excellent, compassionate veterinary care for animals.<\/p>\n\n\n

The college also promoted the special week on social media by spotlighting PVM veterinary nurses and the great work they do.  \u201cOur college is extremely proud of our talented veterinary nurses who work tirelessly, whether they are providing excellent veterinary care, teaching, or supporting scientific discovery,\u201d said Dr. Kathy Salisbury, interim dean.  \u201cVeterinary Nursing Appreciation Week provides an important opportunity to celebrate our highly capable and qualified veterinary nursing team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there\u2019s still time to say \u201cthank you\u201d to a veterinary nurse as part of Veterinary Nursing Week if you haven\u2019t done so already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you and congratulations to all of our veterinary nurses!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
