I'm not sure I officially announced this-

I'm going to school to get certified as a veterinary technician! I'm very excited! I start in the fall.. it's just at the community college but it's one of the best courses around. It's a 2 year program and I get to do all this cool stuff like dental stuff and farm animal studies.. at the end I have to take a state exam to get certified officially. It's not an easy course and I don't legally have to be certified in NJ but I just want to do it and get it done.

I feel like I have the odds for me in the program... I have this site, my shelter friends and just soo many people to talk to that there is no way I can fail, right? My teacher seems like she will be very nice :)

So yup I'm very excited but have a long 2 years ahead of me! It's kinda equivalent to having to get to vet school in a sense.. just half the time and for vet techs.

Good for you! Congratulations!! :thumbs up I am sure you will do wonderfully!!

That's awesome! You're going to be so good at it.

Great news Kathryn! Two years will be over before you know it and you'll have a job you most certainly will love :thumbs up.

What a perfect career for you, Kathryn. I am so happy for you.

I think you will breeze through it, you have such a passion for animals and a terrific background.

Congratulations!

We just may get another professional consultant here at pets.....:thumbs up

congrats and its "just acommunity college" nothing wrongwith that
i am sure you will be a star

I'm just very excited!! My friend at the shelter said the exam at the end is sooo hard and you have to wait like 2 months to get the results... kinda like the end veterinary exam.

Eeek! Oh well. I think it's a plus to get certified though because it's not that long or horribly expensive so why the heck not? I start I think september 1st or something like that so whoooooooo:D

I'm sure you'll do very well ......all the best to you. :goodvibes:
