Today\u2019s Veterinary Business reports:<\/i><\/p>\n

Ohio is vying to become the first state to make \u201cveterinary nurse\u201d the official title of veterinary technicians.<\/p>\n

The House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee on April 11 voted 14-1 in favor of a bill that has the wide support of the U.S. veterinary profession. The legislation now goes to the full House and potentially to the Senate and to Ohio\u2019s governor for his signature. The timetable is uncertain.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that we\u2019re still early in the stages, while we are seeing success, it might be a little early for a huge celebration,\u201d said Kenichiro Yagi<\/a>, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM), co-chairman of the Veterinary Nurse Initiative.<\/p>\n

The campaign to standardize the credentials held by registered, certified and licensed veterinary technicians across the United States is led by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA), where Yagi serves an executive board member. Among other supporters are the North American Veterinary Community \u2014 publisher of Today\u2019s Veterinary Business \u2014 Banfield Pet Hospital, Royal Canin USA and the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine.<\/p>\n

Backers say that formally identifying a qualified team member as a \u201cregistered veterinary nurse\u201d rather than as a technician would unify the profession and help correct the misconception that technicians play a minor role in veterinary medicine.<\/p>\n

Getting licensing bodies and legislatures to make the change in all 50 states could take up to 10 years, NAVTA has said.<\/p>\n

Ohio House Bill 501<\/a> defines a registered veterinary nurse, or RVN, as \u201ca person who is a graduate of a veterinary technology college approved by the state veterinary medical licensing board, has successfully passed an examination approved by the board and maintains registration eligibility status in accordance with rules adopted by the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

The measure is opposed by the 170,000-member Ohio Nurses Association. The organization testified before the House committee and asked its members<\/a> to tell legislators to jettison the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cONA argued that the term \u2018nurse\u2019 is legally defined as caring for humans and that no other person or profession may insinuate they practice as a nurse,\u201d the association reported on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
