While Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) are highly skilled professionals, they cannot diagnose illnesses or prescribe medications — that’s your vet’s role!
A glimpse at what RVNs can do:
🩺 Provide expert nursing care
👩⚕️ Monitor anaesthesia & assist in surgery
💊 Administer treatments prescribed by a vet
ℹ️ Offer pet health advice & education
