But the stories behind each and every one of these professionals are often overlooked due to the selfless nature of working in veterinary medicine. Today\u2019s Veterinary Nurse aims to shine a light on some of these stories with its Clinic Champions series. Each issue, TVN and Midmark will honor a veterinary nurse for their contributions in community service, scholarship, advocacy, or innovation. This series will highlight unsung heroes who make a lasting impact on their patients and community. At the end of the year, 1 of the 4 honorees will be recognized as the Clinic Champion of the Year. This individual will receive a trip to VMX 2024 in Orlando, Florida, including registration, hotel, and airfare, or an equivalent award. To nominate a veterinary nurse\/technician, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ClinicChampions\">bit.ly\/ClinicChampions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And many have. Lettich-Snyder, an emergency responder and search-and-rescue handler, teams up with Charlotte, certified in trailing and human remains detection, to give back to her community in a way that few can. She has responded to about 25 search-and-rescue calls this year alone, taking either Charlotte or one of her other 2 certified dogs to find missing persons or assist in any way on calls that can sometimes stretch for 4 to 5 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VpMY-sMDRxU?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe\u2019ve assisted some cold cases with Charlotte, we\u2019ve helped with the FBI and a few different things,\u201d she says. \u201cThose are the rewarding moments, just to be able to bring closure and bring that loved one home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lettich-Snyder rarely sits still between her full-time job as a veterinary nurse, her passion for search and rescue, and caring for her own ark-load of pets (9 dogs, 2 rabbits, 25 chickens, and a horse). But that\u2019s how life has always been for Lettich-Snyder, who constantly seeks out new opportunities to grow as a person and professional. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cJen is always looking to better herself and those around her on the team,\u201d says Terry Wise, chief, Pennsylvania Canine Search and Rescue. \u201cI would say that is where she excels is in helping others learn and succeed. She reaches out to as many people as she can and attends seminars to learn all that she can. She has learned how to bring this back to team members and share with them how to become better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Heather Libby, a client services representative who has worked with Lettich-Snyder for nearly a decade, adds that \u201cshe is an amazing person and she always keeps herself very busy. Jen\u2019s passion for her job, animals, and helping people is where she shines.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most of Lettich-Snyder\u2019s interests stem from a love for animals, ever since she was 16 years old and was left to perform nursing care for her severely injured dog. She\u2019s done the same for countless animals since then, starting her work in veterinary medicine professionally in 2005. \u201cThis is where my heart is; this is where I belong,\u201d says Lettich-Snyder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But she also gives back in other ways. More than 20\u00a0years ago, Lettich-Snyder started volunteering as a firefighter and first responder for the Sacramento Community Fire Company. While her involvement has slowed down since she started working in search and rescue, she has still had the chance to respond to natural disasters, fires, and other emergencies. Lettich-Snyder\u2019s volunteer and professional work embodies the strengths that veterinary nurses display in the clinic daily: versatility, confidence, and a willingness to take on any task at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11419\" style=\"width: 561px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11419\" class=\"wp-image-11419\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"551\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig1.png 1008w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig1-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig1-768x425.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lettich-Snyder on the ground responding with the fire service.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We spoke with Lettich-Snyder to learn more about her work and how all of her interests help build her confidence and skills in the veterinary hospital. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Today\u2019s Veterinary Nurse: <\/b><\/span>What does your emergency response work involve and how did you get started with that?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Jennifer Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> I owe it all to my big brother. He got me involved with our local fire department when I was growing up. I\u2019ve been in the fire service for over 20 years. There\u2019s been a few calls that he had responded to where an individual was lost, and the lack of qualified people in our area was a big thing affecting the response time. Even in the fire department, they don\u2019t teach you much about looking for missing people; search and rescue is its own thing. Once I realized that, I thought I would love to do that one day. You even get the opportunity to work with a canine. Because I love dogs so much, that was a bonus.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11420\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11420\" class=\"wp-image-11420\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig2.png 720w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig2-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig2-683x1024.png 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I had gotten a dog several years ago, named Laila, and my goal with her was to do search and rescue. We started out with basic obedience and all the training with that. And then some things happened in my life, and I was not able to complete it with her. She had just turned 6 years old at that point, and she started to get really sick. She ended up having a very rare brain tumor. A few days after that, one of my coworkers called me and said, \u201cHey, we had an incident with another dog. Mom killed the babies and bit some people.\u201d There were some unfortunate situations involved with that. She said, \u201cWe have this one puppy left, and it\u2019s a little hound mix. Would you like to take her?\u201d My husband wasn\u2019t thrilled because we already had so many dogs, but I brought her home one day and did some tests on her. She had such drive and motivation; I thought, this could be my opportunity. Now my little puppy\u2014her name is Charlotte\u2014she\u2019s just turned 6. Since then, I also got a bloodhound, and she\u2019s working on trailing. I have another little guy that I got just to be a pet. But he has a huge drive and loves to work, so he\u2019s being trained for human remains detection. I\u2019m working 3\u00a0dogs right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11423\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11423\" class=\" wp-image-11423\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig5.png 864w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig5-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig5-768x692.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11423\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lettich-Snyder has 3 dogs that are either certified in various search-and-rescue skills or undergoing training.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>TVN:<\/strong> What does it look like when you get called upon and have to go out with Charlotte?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> There have been a few really awesome experiences. One was locally where Charlotte actually had her first assist\u2014although she wasn\u2019t technically the first one to the person. She was in pursuit of the trail, and we radioed to another crew member, who did not have a canine, which direction Charlotte was headed. If I recall correctly, it was up the steep side of a mountain and my 3 flankers were firefighters. It was a cold winter evening, and the person we were trying to locate had a speech impairment. They were trying to call him, but the calls kept getting dropped, and no one could understand what he was saying because of his speech impairment. That\u2019s when I got my harness and got the dog going. She started trekking up this trail and going across the mountain. There was radio communication to another team that I knew was up on the other side of the mountain. I told them, \u201cMy dog\u2019s heading this way; take your team in that direction,\u201d and that ended up being an assist. It was really exciting. I had to give my backpack and the dog to somebody else so I could help assess the patient. The other crew member and I tended to him, and then we got him out of there safely and <\/span>called for a UTV (utility terrain vehicle) to take him out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>TVN:<\/strong> How has this experience helped in your work in veterinary medicine and vice versa?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> Search and rescue has really helped me build my leadership and my confidence. I was a poor public speaker and moving into this realm of work really helped me with that. I\u2019ve been put into a leadership role in search and rescue as a lieutenant for one of our canine teams, and they actually put me in charge of their human remains detection program. I love that someone saw how much passion I had for that particular discipline and said, \u201cHere, do this, we\u2019ll help you along the way.\u201d That really helped me grow as a veterinary technician because I needed to be a stronger leader\u2014there are some areas where I was a little bit weak. I really feel that made me stronger. Just being able to see different things that happen in search and rescue, with family emotions and stuff like that, it really helps me with some of my coworkers who may be battling things at home. It helped me realize that I need to make sure that I\u2019m a better supporter of that, because in difficult times, your mind goes all over the place. I think that\u2019s important.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11421\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11421\" class=\"wp-image-11421\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig3.png 864w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig3-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig3-768x740.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another thing: Being a veterinary technician, I\u2019m already really good at reading canine behavior and their body language. We had a few dogs injure their toenails or have little cuts, and I can help them right away. My teammates love me for that, so it\u2019s an extra bonus. But the behavior thing is really important because you have to be able to watch what the dog is doing\u2014they might catch something, and they\u2019ll just flick their ear a certain way. And it\u2019s really important to catch that subtle behavior. Having that extra medical background to help with little things until we can get them to the emergency center is also great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>TVN:<\/strong> What did you learn through that process of becoming more confident as a leader and in communication? What would be your advice for someone who\u2019s going through the same thing?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> It\u2019s really hard to recognize the things that you need to improve. That\u2019s the first step: recognize something is happening, something is pushing you to feel a certain way, and then capture that moment. Ask yourself: \u201cDo I really need to be that upset about this particular thing?\u201d Let me hash it out with somebody; let me see what they think. Get some feedback and let\u2019s turn it into some sort of positive. If not, what can I do to change it? I think that recognition is important and then capturing it and trying to pull the positive out, because I struggled with that. I was like, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t need to have a bad day every day.\u201d I try to find a positive to get through the day because we don\u2019t know that we have tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>TVN:<\/strong> Why do you dedicate the time to all of these passions in addition to your career?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> I feel like these things are what help build my purpose. These things are why I\u2019m here. My husband and I are not able to have children, and because I try to find reasons and purposes for everything, I feel like this is my purpose. I\u2019m here to help others, help them succeed, and help them move on with their dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11422\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11422\" class=\" wp-image-11422\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig4.png 720w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Lettich-Synder_TVNWinter23_ClinicChampion_Fig4-257x300.png 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the clinic, Lettich-Snyder has a passion for rehabilitation, client education, and training her team on new products and techniques.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>TVN:<\/strong> How do you view the function of mentorship and helping younger early career veterinary nurses in developing their skills?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Lettich-Snyder:<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> I love teaching; I think helping anyone is important. I think new veterinary nurses need someone who\u2019s going to take them under their wing, show them what the ropes are like, let them move forward, and always let them know you have their back. Be someone who will tell them, \u201cIf you need something, if you have a question, here\u2019s my email, here\u2019s my phone number, please reach out.\u201d Because if we don\u2019t help them and support them, we\u2019re going to lose them. We know what the statistics are for veterinary nurses: we lose them in the first 5 years. It could be financial, it could be other things at home, or it could just be lack of support in the veterinary setting. And if they have a good mentor, we can hopefully retain them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer let her love of animals and training lead her to not only
