Vet Tech Appreciation Week Real | Burnout, Raises vs. pizza, Anesthesia Tips | Vet Tech Nerd Party
Glitter spritzers & real talk. Join host Mallory Dickinson, RVT with cohosts Erin Jackson, RVT, Julia Hamilton, RVT, and Jenn Graney, RVT for a special Vet Tech Appreciation Week episode of Vet Tech Nerd Party. We unpack the controversy around Tech Week, what real appreciation looks like (beyond pizza), and swap the moments that turned us from baby techs into leaders. We also dive into anesthesia essentials (warming, monitoring, recovery) and why restraint done right changes everything 💪🐾.
What you’ll discover:
– Why Tech Week gets pushback—and how to reframe it without diluting the RVT role 🎯
– “Raises vs. cupcakes”: what meaningful appreciation looks like (staffing 👥, time ⏱️, tools 🧰, pay 💵)
– Burnout drivers & utilization: why many techs leave in the first five years and how to fix it 🔥➡️🌱
– Anesthesia must-knows: hypothermia risk 🥶
– Monitoring priorities 📈
– Patient vitals vs. machine 🐶⚖️🖥️
– Case talk: ADR cats 🚫🐈
– Blocked toms 🚫🐈
– Triage instincts 🚑
– What great restraint really does 🦴
– Mentorship & imposter syndrome: going from “I need an adult” to being the adult 🙋♀️➡️🧑🏫
– Relief vs. GP vs. specialty: where techs thrive and how protocols translate 🏥🔄
