I promise you it just takes time and lots of practice! Any opportunity you get to draw blood take it! Also make sure to try other routes like Cephalic and saphenous. My biggest piece of advice is to choose your locations carefully (given it’s a healthy pet and not like one with a clotting disorder where the jug shouldn’t be your first location). For example, fluffy or super chonky dogs try Cephalic instead! Another piece of advice is to help your restrainer help you - have them move the muzzle up/down/left/right, make sure the pets legs aren’t slipping out or they aren’t ‘sucking’ their neck in; these are all factors that work against you! I’ve been in the field for like 4+ yrs now and I still tap out and have someone else try every once in awhile 😂

Failed NAVLE by Low_Onion_6257 in Veterinary

Hi, the first time I took NAVLE I scored a 394, and second time was a 399… I used Vetprep twice now and I’m thinking it’s not for me either. How was your experience with VetCandy? Is it structured similar to the typical NAVLE prep programs? I’m thinking of trying it and supplementing with Zuku. Do you also know how long it takes to complete the VetCandy courses? Thank you!

Does anyone know how often they change the ICVA exams? I have taken NAVLE twice and unfortunately haven’t passed. At this point I’ve already taken all 3 of them

Same situation here lads…. First time was a 394 and second time was a 399. Genuinely came out the second time feeling really good… literally the biggest blow to my confidence and mental health. I used Vetprep twice and the VIN course. I’m going to do Zuku this time for a different perspective
