Veterinary Specialty Hospital is acutely aware of how overworked and underpaid veterinary nurses have been historically and is a leader in the industry actively working to change that.  It would be impossible to name all, but a few benefits include the support of our in-house social worker, highly competitive pay scales, benefits (with no waiting period), not to mention a “Zen Den” on-site for our employees to decompress. You can also take a walk in the sunshine to dozens of food spots for a quick bite. 

Additionally, we highly support and advocate for continuing education for you.  We proudly offer monthly, RACE-approved CE on a wide range of topics. The sessions are conducted by our board-certified doctors, residents, and VTS-credentialed technicians. Veterinary personnel from all over are invited to attend in person, via webinar, or access a recording of the session at a different time. We also have an online library of pre-recorded CE at your disposal and offer a generous annual CE allowance.
