Why you’ll love your new role:
As a Veterinary Assistant, you’ll play a vital role in delivering exceptional care to our patients. Your responsibilities will include:

• Learning and mastering neurological anatomy and functions

Just ask one of our current team members:
“I had heard about BVNS because we often referred patients there. I was very curious about what they did, so the first job I applied to after becoming licensed was BVNS. I had never worked with neurologic cases, but with training and support from many individuals over the years, I am now a Lead Technician, primary trainer, and have never stopped learning! My day-to-day consists of anything from running appointments to performing an MRI to doing anesthesia for brain surgery! The most satisfying part of neurology for me personally, is that we can have an appointment for a dog that cannot urinate, cannot walk, and is painful, perform emergency surgery, and have them walk out the door a day or two later.”
