Veterinary technician
I’m Tim and I live on Long Island N.Y. I have been in the field forever and a licensed technician for 42 years. I work at a general practice and a cat shelter here on Long Island. I am an introvert and have been married to my husband for 22 years. We have one cattle dog mix and 2 Chinese box turtles. Our dog is 2 y.o. And the turtles are about 50 y.o.,I have had them for 46 years. I also have a cockatiel bird with one wing. A rescue from an emergency hospital I used to work at. I basically work in surgery and take my job very seriously. Always looking to improve our protocols for better care of our patients. I look forward to reading other techs feedback,you are never to old to learn new things.

@Aaron Shaw Hi Aaron, thank you for your question. When I started in this field I was always told to keep busy and always be available to help my fellow coworkers. I have worked in many hospitals over the years both general and specialty. I always left on good terms and was always rehired when my career took me back to that hospital. My main advice is always be helpful and there is always something to do in an animal hospital. I have always been a organizer and a cleaner and if I saw a pet in a soiled cage I cleaned it. Always be kind and treat all patients like they were your own pet. Pay and benefits and opportunities have gotten alot better since I started. Good luck to all the new vet med staff.🐾❤️🐈‍⬛🐾🐕‍🦺
