Veterinary technicians use a multitude of tools because their duties are widely varied. The task that they are performing at the moment will determine what tools they use, but they range from simple diagnostic tools such as a thermometer or stethoscope to radiographic and ultrasonographic machinery. Any tools or equipment commonly used to provide nursing care are used by veterinary technicians on a daily basis--an array of scissors, bandaging materials, fluid pumps, thermometers, stethoscopes, IV catheters, urinary catheters, blood pressure monitors, etc.

What is is a technician?
== == A veterinary technician is (according to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the statutes in many states) a person who has a degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program and has met all of their state's requirements for credentialing as a veterinary technician. This usually entails having taken and passed both the Veterinary Technician National Exam and a state exam as well as getting a set amount of Continuing Education every year. In many states it is illegal to present yourself as a veterinary technician unless you have met these requirements and are credentialed (licensed, registered or certified) as a veterinary technician in that state. There are still some states that allow anyone regardless of education and training to be presented as a veterinary technician and many veterinarians use this term to mislead clients into feeling like they have well-educated and highly trained staff. It's like calling a person with no medical training that works at a human hospital a nurse. To determine the laws governing veterinary technicians a person should contact their state veterinary medical board or veterinary technician association.
