Veterinary Nursing
I am a veterinary nurse
I’ve been following the Veterinary Nurse Initiative peripherally since its inception and am in support of its purpose.

Hospital Construction/Design
A great idea
“Stay Young at Heart” [April/May 2019] is a terrific article, which I have shared with all of our DVMs and leadership team to discuss.

Personal/Professional Development
An unfair selection process
I graduated from Purdue University in May 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine.

Veterinary Nursing
We’re not second class
In a distasteful attempt at a rebuttal, Mark Cushing’s response to Liz Hughston’s request to end the poorly performing title creep was demeaning, yet laughable at best.

Veterinary Nursing
Don’t forget nursing’s legacy
I was keenly interested in the editor’s column about the Veterinary Nurse Initiative and in Liz Hughston’s comments.

Veterinary Education
Midwestern U doesn’t have a distributive model
I would like to address the article on distributive veterinary education, which mentions Midwestern University [“The Future Has Arrived,” February/March 2019].

Veterinary Nursing
A condescending reply
I am a dual-licensed certified veterinary technician in Arizona and registered veterinary technician in Oklahoma who supports Liz Hughston’s Viewpoint [“Stop Using a Non-Existent Title,” April/May 2019].

Veterinary Nursing
Stop using a non-existent title
I am writing to ask you to please stop using a title that does not exist in North America to refer to credentialed veterinary staff.
