The Role of Registered Veterinary Nurses in Veterinary Practice
Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) are essential members of the veterinary healthcare team. Their formal training allows them to assist with anaesthesia, monitor patients during surgery, perform laboratory tests, provide inpatient nursing care, assist with dentistry, run nurse clinics, manage hospital workflows and educate clients on preventative health.
At BVH, our RVNs play a crucial role in ensuring pets receive safe, compassionate and efficient care.
They support veterinarians, improve patient outcomes, and contribute significantly to client communication and follow-up care. RVN involvement also enhances patient safety by ensuring best-practice protocols are followed.
From postoperative care to nutritional advice and wound management, RVNs provide valuable services that elevate the standard of veterinary care at BVH.
