I believe that every individual on the team has the potential to be a leader, and on the best teams, every individual <em>is<\/em> a leader. When you are part of a team, leadership can be defined as helping one another to be best. Helping one another strengthens the entire hospital. Stronger hospitals provide better-quality medicine. Every one of us, at some point in our careers, has had help from a \u201cleader\u201d\u2014a teacher, a parent, a coach, a friend, maybe even a random stranger. This guidance is empowering and helps mold us into stronger, more confident individuals, who, in turn, strive to make a difference in someone else\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>The late Dr. Earl H. Rippie, Jr., a former president and secretary-treasurer of the NAVC, recognized the value veterinary nurses bring to the healthcare team and the significant contributions they make in promoting the well-being of animals. In his memory, the NAVC established the Dr. Earl H. Rippie Veterinary Nurse Leadership Scholarship, which recognizes veterinary nurses who have demonstrated leadership abilities and have made a positive impact on the growth of the profession or in their practice (for details on applying, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/navc.com\/vmx\/scholarships\/veterinary-nurse-leadership-scholarship\">navc.com\/vmx\/scholarships\/veterinary-nurse-leadership-scholarship<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s recipients\u2014recognized during VMX 2019\u2014truly are leaders:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_J-Murray.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3795\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_J-Murray-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_J-Murray-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_J-Murray.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Janet Murray<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Perth, Western Australia<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>After growing up on a New Zealand dairy farm, it was a natural fit for Janet to begin her career in 1996 as a veterinary nurse. Janet studied and served in London and Ireland for several years, and in 2012, she moved to Perth, Australia. After a brief stint in a sales role, Janet became a lecturer for Certificate IV veterinary nursing at South Metropolitan TAFE, in Bentley, Western Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so excited to have received the Dr. Earl H. Rippie Veterinary Nurse Leadership Scholarship,\u201d Janet says. \u201cIt quantifies everything I have done to date within the veterinary industry and validates my position as a leader within the community. This scholarship epitomizes the leader whose name is given to the award. It is amazing supporters of veterinary nurses like that of the late Dr. Rippie who recognize our important position within the industry. I am humbled to be the recipient of this international award and hope that I can continue to influence veterinary nurses to strive to be the best they can be. I am still only scratching the surface of what it is to be a veterinary nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Janet is president of the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia, was one of the first veterinary nurses invited to sit on the Australian Veterinary Association\u2019s Veterinary Business Group, and is editor of the <em>Australian Veterinary Nursing Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_K-Griffith.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3796\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_K-Griffith-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_K-Griffith-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Author_K-Griffith.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Kari Griffith, LVT, VTS (Dentistry)<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Everett, Washington<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Kari has worked in the veterinary field since 1984.

In 2013, Kari earned her credentials as a veterinary technician specialist (Dentistry) from the Academy of Veterinary Dental Technicians, only the third person in Washington to successfully complete the training and earn the designation. Kari also helped develop a healthcare and first-aid training program for police departments and K9 handlers in Washington\u2019s Puget Sound area, and she has spoken at many canine training seminars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt truly never occurred to me that I would be one of the recipients of the Rippie scholarship,\u201d says Kari. \u201cI have always been passionate about sharing my knowledge with others. If I can just share one tidbit with someone about their pet, improve pets\u2019 health, or educate at least one person in the veterinary field, then I feel I\u2019ve accomplished what I set out to do as a veterinary technician. I believe we are never too old to learn and we need to constantly test our brains.
