Veterinary nursing is facing a crisis of dissatisfaction. More than half of veterinary nurses leave the profession within the first 5 years, according to a National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA<\/a><\/strong>) survey.1<\/sup> Another recent NAVTA survey revealed that only 39% of respondents were \u201chighly satisfied\u201d with their role, and only 60% would \u201cprobably\u201d or \u201cdefinitely\u201d become a veterinary nurse again.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. NAVTA lists several recommendations for increasing retention in the industry, including increasing pay, addressing student loan debts, creating flexible schedules, increasing career opportunities, and more.2<\/sup> When it comes to expanding the role of veterinary nurses in the clinic and potentially opening the door for increased practice revenue, the COVID-19 pandemic may have presented an opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

As clients are becoming more accustomed to digital services in every aspect of life, veterinary clinics will be able to expand their use of telehealth for a variety of services and appointments. Look to the future to see how veterinary nurses can shape their role in this changing environment and become a critical part of the veterinary team for improved satisfaction and patient outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak Up<\/h2>\n

Educating veterinarians and practice managers about the skills veterinary nurses possess and the financial benefits of expanding their responsibilities is a key piece of the veterinary nurse empowerment puzzle. And, oftentimes, you can be your best advocate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA veterinary nurse needs to be able to walk into a practice and say, \u2018This is what I can do for you to free you up so you can make more money doing what you\u2019re licensed to do. Let me do everything else so we can see twice as many cases, and we can generate more income.\u2019 They lack the confidence to go into a hospital and say that,\u201d says Paige Allen, RVT, assistant director for academic advising and recruitment at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>president of the North American Veterinary Community<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Allen believes nurses need to be better educated on \u201csoft skills\u201d of communication so they can advocate for themselves. And telehealth presents the perfect occasion to start the conversation. <\/span>BOX 1<\/span><\/strong> includes positive benefits of veterinary nurses stepping up via telehealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

BOX 1 Making the Argument for Increased Responsibility<\/div>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Combat Burnout and Improve Job Satisfaction<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have never seen in veterinary medicine the burnout rates that I\u2019m seeing right now,\u201d explains Amy Newfield, CVT, VTS (ECC). When team members are empowered to take on additional responsibilities, they\u2019ll feel trusted and valued, which will lead to increased job satisfaction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Improve Efficiency <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am able to put my skills to use in a variety of ways at the practice,\u201d says Kayla Sandness, RVT. \u201cIt saves time, allows us to see more patients, and makes us more efficient overall. When we can communicate with clients through chat, it really cuts down on our incoming and outgoing phone calls.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Improve the Client Experience<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to give my clients another option for connection with the practice,\u201d says Crista Wallis, DVM. \u201cI felt guilty every time I had to turn someone away because I didn\u2019t have time to take care of them that day. When my veterinary nurses can triage via telehealth while I\u2019m busy with appointments, our practice is providing a level of service that clients love.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Provide Flexibility<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTrusting my veterinary nurses and practicing telemedicine allows me to leave the 4 walls of my practice and not feel guilty about it, but still have access to my clients and my staff,\u201d Dr. Wallis says. \u201cThere are times when we need help, and the veterinary nurses can help us, even if they\u2019re not in the hospital. The remote tasks are really working well for everyone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Decrease the Physical Demands of the Job<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Being a veterinary nurse is not easy on the human body. \u201cA lot of older veterinary nurses will say, \u2018I don\u2019t know how much longer I can do this job,\u2019 and that\u2019s a shame,\u201d says Newfield. \u201cWe need to support our veterinary nurses and offer opportunities that allow them to sit home for a day and do consultations or take calls from clients and point them in the right direction.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Allow Practices to Be the Source of Information<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone has questions about their pet, I\u2019d rather them go to a site where they can speak with a credentialed veterinary nurse or a licensed veterinarian and have a conversation and then decide what the best course of action is, rather than asking Dr. Google,\u201d says Newfield.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Telehealth Tasks<\/h2>\n

While some veterinary practices have been testing telehealth for several years, the pandemic has forced the profession to jump in head first, and that has caused <\/span>many practice owners to worry about entering uncharted waters. But, as a veterinary nurse, you can ensure your <\/span>practice swims\u2014not sinks\u2014when it comes to telehealth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Show just how valuable you are by taking the following ideas to your practice leadership.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Surgery Rechecks<\/h3>\n

\u201cAt my practice, I ask follow-up questions, have clients send photos, and evaluate incisions via telehealth\u2014and if anything is abnormal, I upgrade it to a doctor telemedicine consult,\u201d says Kayla Sandness, RVT. Sandness has worked for Monticello Animal Hospital\u2014a one-doctor practice in Shawnee, Kansas\u2014for nearly 7 years. \u201cThe practice owner trusts me to help meet our clients\u2019 needs through telehealth.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Teletriage<\/h3>\n

\u201cA credentialed veterinary nurse could be the first person to interface with a client when they contact the hospital with concerns,\u201d says Cheryl Good, DVM, owner and medical director of Dearborn Family Pet Care in Dearborn, Michigan, a founding member of the Veterinary Virtual Care Association<\/a><\/strong>, and the chief veterinary officer for the Bridge Club. Veterinary nurses can be the first point of contact and identify when a client needs an in-person appointment with the veterinarian. This simple step will save veterinarians time, allow them to focus on tasks that require their specialized skills, and elevate veterinary nurses as a familiar, expert voice for clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow-ups<\/h3>\n

\u201cInstead of calling clients after an exam, I do follow-up rechecks through our asynchronous chat platform\u2014I send a chat to see how the pet is doing,\u201d explains Sandness, whose practice uses the Vet2Pet platform (<\/span>vet2pet.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong>) for telehealth. The platform includes a hospital-branded app that allows the team to exchange chats, photos, and videos with clients on a schedule that works for the practice. They can also accept contactless payments through the app, which makes collecting payment for telemedicine and curbside visits convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ongoing Patient Monitoring and Client Education<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot that goes into the treatment and monitoring of certain chronic diseases, like diabetes,\u201d says Dr. Good. \u201cInstead of the veterinarian being involved on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis with the client, why not allow the veterinary nurse to guide the client, help explain how to give injections or do blood monitoring at home? That can be done via telehealth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Consultations<\/h3>\n

\u201cNutrition, behavior, or other consultations can be handled by credentialed veterinary nurses via telehealth,\u201d says Dr. Good, whose team uses TeleTails (<\/span>teletails.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong>), which allows them to offer both live and asynchronous video consultations.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Amy Newfield, CVT, VTS (ECC), project manager of training and health and wellbeing for BluePearl Veterinary Partners, agrees. \u201cWhen pet owners have problems, the ability to have consultations over the phone can really reduce the number of urgent care visits,\u201d she says. \u201cCan it wait until an appointment is available with their primary veterinarian, or is an ER visit necessary?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote Collaboration<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m not in the hospital, clients can still drop their pets off after I\u2019ve triaged them, and the veterinary nurses can run any diagnostic tests for me and then send the results to me so I can gauge what needs to be done next,\u201d explains Crista Wallis, DVM, owner of Monticello Animal Hospital. \u201cI love that [Sandness] and the team can be doing what I need them to do in the hospital and inform me of anything I need to know via telemedicine when I\u2019m not there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote Tasks\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of Sandness\u2019 colleagues has young children, and she needs to leave early in the day, so Dr. Wallis has set up her phone system so the veterinary nurse can answer the phones from her home. She can remotely sign-in to the practice management system and handle appointment confirmations, reminders, prescription refill requests, and more. Sandness monitors chat feeds through the practice\u2019s app from her home, and she gets a bonus for the days she covers the after-hours chat triage, whether chats come in or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is Telehealth in Your Future?<\/h2>\n

Telehealth will be a major part of veterinary medicine moving forward, and many of these capabilities are a part of the everyday routine for many veterinary professionals already. As the technology is refined and more practices adopt these tools<\/a><\/strong>, new opportunities will arise. Make sure you understand your place in these developments, explore the many opportunities in veterinary telehealth, and advocate for yourself to expand your role on the veterinary team.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
