Caffeinators, you are in for a TREAT. Recently, one of our favorite people came by the Vet Tech Cafe for some tea and conversation. Or, should we say collaboration?

Kelly is credentialed in FOUR states, a VTS(ECC), and currently the Mid-Atlantic Regional Nursing Partner for Blue Pearl, providing support to their hospitals in that region.

Caffeinators, hold on to your socks because this episode is going to knock them off! If you read veterinary publications with articles on workplace culture, you've probably read something written by Josh Vaisman. We were fortunate enough to have him come by the Vet Tech Cafe recently and, wow, was this an awesome conversation!

2023/06/26

Caffeinators, buckle your seatbelts for this one. We saw in a NAVTA newsletter a few months back a blurb about the formation of the Malaysian Association of Veterinary Nurses and Assistants, or MAVNA, and I knew right away we needed to talk to them. I emailed them and Su Via wrote back and this episode was born. She is a veterinary technician student through Purdue University's distance learning program and attends from her home country of Malaysia. She talks extensively about the role of the

Welcome back to #mentalhealthawarenessmonth Caffeinators! We're back for our second episode looking at bullying in veterinary medicine. You may remember way back to 2020 when we had Emily Ione-Kinney on to talk about bullying in vet med. She introduced us then to some terms we hadn't heard before such as lateral and vertical violence and some ways bullying occurs you might not think of.

Vet Tech Cafe - Tom Seeko Episode

2023/05/01

Caffeinators, let's get weird. Let's talk money. We all want it. We all need it. What do we do with it? We can all attest to the fact that this is low-earning profession. That makes many of us work additional jobs, leave the field altogether, etc. Considering all of that, what do you think of your financial well-being? We ask because that's the discussion for this episode. This is one of our few, non-veterinary technician guest episodes, but with a discussion we hope you'll benefit from. Tom Seeko

2023/04/17

Caffeinators, if your morning cup of coffee doesn't open your eyes, this episode surely will! Alyssa Mages, BS, CVT, recently came by the Vet Tech Cafe and knocked our socks off. We covered so much ground in this episode, but at the same time, every little thing we discussed could've been its own hour of discussion. She's a founder of Empowering Veterinary Teams, and that was where the bulk of the discussion lies-what that looks like, what they do, how it started... you know we love to talk about

Caffeinators, it's not often we have a guest that is not a credentialed veterinary technician. But when those opportunities present themselves, we make sure it's a discussion we think you'll benefit from, and this is certainly one of those. Anthony Pierlioni is a manager of a multi-specialty hospital in Connecticut. His background isn't in veterinary medicine-it's in social work.

Caffeinators, have we got a discussion for you! You may remember when we interviewed Dr. Andy Roark, his suggestion for a future guest was Melissa Entrekin, and she was gracious enough to join us at the Vet Tech Cafe for some wonderful discussion about our profession. This is a wide-ranging episode, from state association work to vet tech education to life in this field overall. There's a lot to unpack in this one, and we could've easily continued this discussion for hours-which only means we'll
