How do You Celebrate Your Veterinary Technicians?


Technicians play a vital role in the veterinary healthcare team. Make sure your technicians know how much you appreciate them this week and every week.

National Veterinary Technician Week (October 17-23) is also a great time to encourage all of your staff to join Veterinary Support Personnel Network (VSPN).

VSPN is a FREE online community tailored for your non-veterinarian staff, offering continuing education, message boards, and lots of other resources.
 

The VSPN Notebook is NOT just for veterinary support staff.


"I wish I had this when I was a student and new grad. It's filled with lots of the little factlets that I was always looking for," says VIN co-founder, Paul Pion.

Find it via the VIN Library, the VSPN front page, and the VSPN Library.

Did You Join VIN in the Eye of a Hurricane?


In 2003-2005 Harvard students were signing up for 'TheFacebook', football fans found out what 'wardrobe malfunction' means, and VINners were learning about the new VIN Student Center and how to use MyStuff.

When Katrina hit in 2005, VINners banded together to help each other. From this outpouring of collegial support, the VIN Foundation was formed.

No matter when you joined, your VIN journey is part of the history of VIN. Do you remember how and when you first heard about VIN? What was your first post to the VIN Message Boards about? Find the discussion for your year in the list on the right side of this page and share what VIN means to you. 

You can show as well as tell! Share a photo, video, or even a song clip. 

Can't remember when you joined? Email 30years@vin.com and we'll help you figure it out.

Whatever year you joined, share your thoughts about VIN on this special Message Board and through the VIN 30th Anniversary Center.
