    Meet Diesel! A simulator brought to vet tech students by TCC! It's one thing to witness the advancement of veterinary medicine, but it's even better when it's happening in your hometown! Anesthetic events are unpredictable and books can only prepare you but so much. TCC has found a way to help better future veterinary technician students but having a simulator during surgery to react in certain situations to teach students how they can maintain their patient. I don't know about you but I think this is pretty amazing! Let me know your thoughts! Copy and paste this link in your browser to check out this amazing story: https://buff.ly/3BBcNoe

  • I Stand Against Tech Week

    I Stand Against Tech Week
    Nov 2 2024
    Meagan Parks wrote and amazing article on why we should reconsider celebrating tech week! Don't get me wrong, when I first read the title I was a little taken back; however, after reading the article my mind was blown! As veterinary professionals it's okay to keep an open mind and understand that some of these "bandaids" are used to cover the deeper bigger issue. So ask yourself what is the real reason we celebrate veterinary technician week? Here is the article link to, "I Stand Against Tech Week." https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-stand-against-vet-tech-week-meagan-parks-sjcwe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&utm_campaign=share_via

    Feral Cats Need Love To❤️🐈🐾😽
    Jul 3 2024
    On today's episode I had the opportunity of chatting with another pet parent, Kia, who is a human nurse, but has a love for the animal world. Kia and her husband took the liberty of caring for a colony of feral cats and realized how fulfilling it is to care for these fur babies! It's safe to say their fur baby Lunabell has different opinions on the matter! Keep doing what you are doing Kia, the world needs more people like you!

  • It's Never Too Late To Be A Player In The Game🎮😎

    It's Never Too Late To Be A Player In The Game🎮😎
    Jul 1 2024
    Today I had the opportunity to speak with a fellow Virginian, Ms. Dusty, who recently graduated from tech school and is owning it! Dusty shares that she started late in the game;however, she has not let that stop her. She jumped right into emergency medicine and learned quickly how to stand on her feet! Being a new tech in the game especially with certain trends happening in the vet field has caused Dusty to make sure she not only advocates for herself, but to also keep her mind open to grasping different skills to be the best technician possible. I think it is also safe to say that she will be a part of this positive movement of adopting a tech! I'm excited to see you grow in this field!❤️
