Vet Techs Are Nurses? Exploring Our Titl...

NURSE BLAKE
About this episode

Are vet techs nurses? It’s a hot debate across social media, and in this episode, I’m diving into both sides of the conversation. We’ll break down the education, licensing, and responsibilities of veterinary technicians vs. nurses—and spotlight some surprising skills you may not know vet techs have. I’ll also share your comments & hot takes. Spoiler: this isn’t about who does more—it’s about credentials, respect, and keeping it honest in both the human and animal healthcare worlds.

💬 Join the convo and send me your thoughts for a future episode!
