Do you think that there is any truth to that?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We have known that pay has been the No. 1 issue for individuals to stay in our profession. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BLS<\/a>), the average wage of those reporting to be veterinary technicians and veterinary technologists is $17.74 per hour.<sup>1<\/sup> While we know this is not simply a result of members of the profession failing to advocate for themselves, self-advocacy is a piece of the puzzle worth examining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">When speaking up for ourselves for better pay, we need to first be able to answer the question: How much should I be making?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Information About Pay<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Earlier this year, the New Zealand Veterinary Nursing Association issued its 2022 Wage Guidelines,<sup>2<\/sup> advocating for the profession and providing employers a desired level of compensation for new and early career veterinary nurses\/technicians. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians has been running an annual Wage and Compensation Survey since 2014, providing members of the profession with information on average wages broken down by geographic region, years in practice, and area of practice, along with employment benefits. The most recent survey in 2021 indicated that 57.4% of the respondents were \u201csatisfied with the total compensation package [their] employer provides.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While the financial figures indicated in these reports are difficult to translate to the United States or globally as cost of living is not easily translatable, the act of issuing guidelines provides individuals with supportive comparisons that they can use when asking for fair compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For information across the United States, NAVTA recently conducted an updated demographic survey collecting information regarding pay. The results are currently being prepared for publication, including a data set on respondents\u2019 hourly wage at their primary employer. The results indicate that 60% of the respondents were earning between $16 and $25 per hour with a median of $23 per hour. The data collected by this survey indicate pay much higher than the BLS statistics, which could be an indication of increase in wages through 2022 or that those likely to respond to NAVTA\u2019s survey are those who are credentialed and more engaged in the field. Further breakdown of the information based on years of experience, type of practice, and credential status will be provided in the demographic survey report. There are also state associations conducting more localized wage surveys to report on financial figures relevant to their membership. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Movement Toward Pay Transparency<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The concept of pay transparency has been around for a while and the pros and cons can be debated. When it comes to knowing how much one can earn by taking a job, Colorado leads the way by having the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act,<sup>4<\/sup> which requires all job openings to list pay range and benefits. There are several other states that require pay to be disclosed upon request during the interview process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also employers that have structures and frameworks in place that provide fair pay based on objective criteria, and some publish them. (The former is common, but the latter is not.) Public universities may have their employees\u2019 wages published as public information. These pieces of information can be used as a form of comparison. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">How to Advocate for Yourself<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cKnow what you are worth\u201d is so much easier said than done. It\u2019s the information above that will start to give us a better idea of what the industry standards look like around us. What we do know is that veterinary nurses and technicians are worth more than we currently are paid. If you are having trouble maintaining financial sustainability through your current wages, look toward a couple of factors in your practice: Does your employer have a structured framework that is transparent and provides fair pay in an objective manner? Is the pay scale assigned to the framework adequate and match what you are worth? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If the answer to either of these questions is no, then it is worth having a professional discussion with your practice leaders. Your best advocate is yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Editor\u2019s Note:<\/b> To read more about negotiating for a pay raise, see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/personal-professional-development\/veterinary-nurse-technician-raise-or-pay-negotiation\/\">How to Ask for a Raise or Negotiate Pay<\/a>.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone knows veterinary nurses\/technicians simply don&#8217;t make enough money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":236,"featured_media":4834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[232],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fall-2022","column-navta_corner","clinical_topics-practice-management"],"acf":{"hide_sidebar":false,"hide_sidebar_ad":false,"hide_all_ads":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Be an Advocate for Better Pay | Today&#039;s Veterinary Nurse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Veterinary nurses simply don&#039;t make enough money.
