If you’re a vet technician student getting ready to dive into the whirlwind of clinical practice, this video is one you don’t want to miss. In honor of National Veterinary Technician Week, and courtesy of BondVet, here is a practical guide full of insights every future vet technician should hear.
Led by certified veterinary technician Julianne Evenhus, CVT, along with her colleague Jesse Longo, LVT, who has been in the profession for a decade, this session goes beyond technical skills: it’s about how to make you thrive personally and professionally. Julianne and Jesse will share some advice, such as how to bring positivity to your practice, be an advocate for yourself and your patients, and build connections within the field.
Better yet, this isn’t all theoretical – much of what they say comes from the wealth of experience both speakers have accumulated, from clinical practice to community-focused care. Julianne is passionate about supporting vet teams and fighting compassion fatigue, while Jesse is dedicated to pushing nurse empowerment forward; thus, their insights are super relatable and actionable. They know what it’s like to be new in the field and offer wisdom on everything from developing key skills to finding work-life balance.
Instead of advice, this video gives a career boost and a reality check toward focusing on what really matters in veterinary medicine. This is your guide on how to be not just a vet tech, but resilient and impactful. If you’re just starting your career, take 60 minutes and watch. You’ll leave feeling motivated, prepared, and empowered.
