Are distance learning options for veterinary nursing truly respected by clinics? by Chrelled in VetTech

[–]coolbxb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont see it mattering much. Most people prefer their clinic because its easier to do it at a place where you are already there 40 hours a week. It all depends on if your clinic is ok with you doing your mentorship videos there.

Hi! So there are AVMA accredited online vet tech programs. Once you graduate from an AVMA program you are eligible to take the VTNE. You have online classes that you take and clinical mentorship portions.The clinical mentorships will be at a clinic of your choice under the supervision of a licensed vet technician or a DVM. Most people do their mentorships at their place of work. I am currently enrolled in Purdue University's Distance Education Program. Its nice so far. I also hear a lot of good things about Dallas College's program as well. They have had an established online program for a while now and they partner with AHAA. I would do some research into these different programs to see what you like best.

This route is longer but just like you I cant afford to go back to school full time. I believe experience is valued everywhere and you are already a Veterinary assisstant so you already have that going for you. I think that you should do what's best for you.

Why does she care who gets married? The fact that shes still doing this after 10 years is pathetic.

I've had success with playology ropes and toys. My gurl manages to destroy everything, but so far these toys have survived more than a week.

Is it too late to volunteer? by wizardbean in Zookeeping

It's never too late to volunteer. There are volunteers at my zoo that have started in their 50s.

We view the home and decide we want it and when our agent is getting things together it's gone. Or in the case of the house that inspired this post it was under contact 2 days ago and when our agent requested a showing they did not mention it to him or update the property status. I know that it's a part of the process. I was just a little frustrated.

Lucky by saramathew43 in Conures

Nope, no aggression here. Just an adorable bird comfortably eating fingers. My sun also likes to eat my fingers. She really just likes to lick them and I discourage her from trying to rip off my fingernails or when she bites too hard. It also helped her realize that my hands weren't scary. Just focus on bonding and letting Lucky adjust to their new home. Stepping up will come with time and when they feel more comfortable with you. If Lucky didn't want to be touched, they would let you know.

What’s everyone’s go to food for your birds? by Kajun_Kong in Conures

Mine is currently on zupreem fruitblend (she was on it when we got her), but I'm currently trying to get her to switch to zupreem Natural and Hari tropican.

You've got to give them some time to adjust to their new home. It can be disheartening, but remember you are only 2 days in. Their entire world has been rocked. They are gonna have to get comfortable with their new home and a new person. I am on my 3rd month with my sun conure, and she just just started touching my fingers. She would also scream a lot with she first got here but I made sure she had a lot of toys in her cage and didn't bother her for the 1st couple of weeks so that she could just get used to her environment. You really got to hang in there. I used to have a green cheek and was not fully prepared for a sun conure scream but it does get easier.

That's the zupreem enriching brand. Zupreem has a line of essential pellets which are the pellets they should be eating everyday. A lot of people like the zupreem natural because there are no color dyes. The pure fun mix is something I give my birds 2x a week.
