The survey, last performed in 2016, usually takes place every 5 years, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As CrVTs play a critical role in the veterinary team and patient care, it is important for veterinarians to understand the findings and how we can best support our colleagues going forward. Key findings from the latest survey, conducted in January through March 2022, are discussed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Finding:<\/b><\/span> Compensation Is Improved but Remains a Problem<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The survey revealed a 25% increase in the computed average annual salary since the 2016 survey ($52<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2009<\/span><span class=\"s1\">000 in 2022 compared to $41<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2009<\/span><span class=\"s1\">600 in 2016).<sup>1<\/sup> This number is calculated based on the average number of hours worked per week (37.5) and average pay per hour ($26.50). \u201cI\u2019m certainly seeing this [pay increase] with our graduates,\u201d said Kathy Koar, MSEd, CVT, director of veterinary nursing at Harcum College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. \u201cIn our geographic area, it\u2019s more.\u201d She said increased compensation is allowing graduates of veterinary nursing programs to complete school and start \u201cgrown-up lives with only one job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, this increase is not profession-wide, especially in more rural areas. Ashli Selke, RVT, CVT, immediate past president of NAVTA, who is based in the Midwest, said, \u201cThe average technician I see does not make that.\u201d She shared that the results on compensation were \u201cwhat our data told us, but we thought it could be a bit skewed.\u201d While the survey was distributed to all NAVTA members and promoted on social media, most survey respondents were attendees at 1 of 2 major national conferences (WVC or VMX). According to Selke, it\u2019s important to ask, \u201cWho are the technicians who are able to go to these conventions?\u201d She hypothesizes that the veterinary nurses\/technicians who have the means to attend national conventions are likely in jobs with higher pay and noted an increase in veterinary nurses\/technicians employed in research (who have the highest hourly pay) responding this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite the increase in compensation, low salary is still viewed as the most challenging aspect of the job, with 39% of respondents ranking this both the top challenge currently and the top projected issue for the next 5\u00a0years.<sup>1<\/sup> One in 3 CrVTs maintains a second job, often full time,<sup>1<\/sup> suggesting that they need additional income to support themselves and\/or their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Finding:<\/b><\/span> Mental Health and Wellness Remain Major Concerns<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Similar to the 2016 results, the \u201chigh volume of colleagues experiencing compassion fatigue\u201d is considered the second biggest problem for the profession in the next 5 years.<sup>1<\/sup> \u201cIt\u2019s a very worthy job, but it gets hard,\u201d acknowledged Selke. Despite the fact that the number of practices discussing compassion fatigue has doubled since 2016, 65% of respondents reported experiencing compassion fatigue, <\/span>and 70% reported professional burnout.<sup>1<\/sup> These findings <span class=\"s1\">are in line with the results of the Merck Animal Health Veterinary Wellbeing Study III, which found higher levels of burnout and psychological distress in support staff than veterinarians, though it did not distinguish CrVTs from unlicensed individuals.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOne of the most compelling [results] to me was that 1\u00a0in 3 veterinary technicians knows someone [in the veterinary profession] who died by suicide,\u201d said Selke. <\/span>Koar calls this a \u201cheartbreaking statistic.\u201d An even larger<span class=\"s1\"> number (61%) of respondents reported concern about <\/span>someone in the veterinary community dying by suicide.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI think we\u2019re trying really hard,\u201d said Koar, noting that both veterinary schools and veterinary technician\/nursing programs are openly discussing wellbeing and mental health issues, including coping skills and where information and help can be found. However, it is clear <\/span>that efforts to support mental health at the clinic, school,<span class=\"s1\"> and profession-wide level must continue if we are to see improvement by the next demographics survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Finding:<\/b><\/span> Establishing a National Credentialing Standard and Title Protection Is a Priority<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The third biggest challenge of the job was listed as lack of title protection. In many practices, the title \u201cveterinary technician\u201d is used to refer to both licensed and unlicensed individuals. Title protection would limit the use of \u201cveterinary technician\u201d to licensed individuals. Selke notes that the challenges around compensation and title protection are closely linked: \u201cIf there\u2019s not title protection, we can\u2019t differentiate ourselves from veterinary assistants,\u201d she said. Currently, 31 states have no title protection for CrVTs, and 12 of those states do not define veterinary technician in their practice act.<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Veterinary Nurse Initiative (<a href=\"https:\/\/veterinarynurse.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VNI<\/a>) was created by NAVTA in 2016 with several goals, including uniting CrVTs under a unified national title with standardized credentialing requirements and title protection. In the 2022 demographics survey, 83% of respondents indicated a national title is important and 87% felt title protection was important.<sup>1<\/sup> Koar believes the top issue \u201cat a national level is the lack of standardization.\u201d She notes it is a complex issue with rapid legislative changes. \u201cThere\u2019s so much going on everywhere,\u201d she said. \u201cWe really need to study every single bill to understand what they entail.\u201d When it comes to a standardized title, the number of CrVTs who prefer the term \u201cveterinary nurse\u201d has increased dramatically from 2016. The term is now preferred by 85% of respondents.<sup>1<\/sup> Currently, CrVTs can be denoted by 1 of 4 different credentials depending on the state where they are licensed: CVT, RVT, LVT, and LVMT. \u201cIt would be more valuable to the public to be unified under 1 credential,\u201d said Selke.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Finding:<\/b><\/span> Other Challenges Faced by CrVTs Include Staff Retention and Underutilization<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Staff turnover was ranked the second most challenging aspect of the job currently.<sup>1<\/sup> Turnover is multifactorial and influenced by concerns around salary and benefits, mental health, proper utilization, and lack of title protection. While turnover affects clinics at the individual level, there is a retention problem in the profession altogether. \u201cI can think of 10 people off the top of my head who were amazing credentialed technicians,\u201d Selke shared, \u201cand they\u2019ve left to go to human nursing because they can\u2019t find that balance or that pay to support their family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One strategy to improve retention is better utilization of CrVTs. Only 40% of respondents felt they were fully utilized.<sup>1<\/sup> Major factors that CrVTs viewed as barriers to utilization included lack of trust or confidence in the CrVT skillset by the clinicians, training uncredentialed staff to do the same tasks as CrVTs, and not allowing CrVTs to perform the tasks they are trained for due to perceived control issues.<sup>1<\/sup> \u201cWe want to help veterinarians,\u201d Selke stressed. \u201cWe don\u2019t want them to be burned out. We want to free them up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Koar noted, \u201cWe need to be emphasizing how important an education from an AVMA-accredited program is and what is involved and included in that education.\u201d For most states, graduation from an AVMA-accredited program is required for licensing. Both Selke and Koar emphasized that to fully utilize CrVTs, veterinarians must know their practice act and the scope of practice for CrVTs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">How Veterinarians Can Support Their CrVT Colleagues<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">While efforts around title protection and standardized credentialing require advocacy and legislative changes at the state and national level, veterinarians can help support their CrVT colleagues locally. Selke and Koar suggest the following ways for practices and individual veterinarians to support CrVTs in the clinic:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p5\">Use appropriate titles, reserving the term \u201cveterinary technician\u201d for those with credentials.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\">Know the practice act and scope of practice for your state and let your CrVTs perform at their highest level.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\">Share business data with CrVTs when discussing compensation packages.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\">Invite CrVTs\u2019 opinions into practice protocol development and other decisions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\">Offer student debt relief or assistance as part of a benefits package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Supporting the CrVTs in your clinic will help them to achieve their professional goals and take a step toward profession-wide improvements in utilization, mental health, compensation, and title protection. Selke reminds veterinarians that \u201cWe went to school to try to elevate ourselves and practice <i>with <\/i>veterinarians.\u201d
