Congratulations to Ashlyn Lesch-Hill from VCA Country Oaks on passing her Veterinary Technician National Exam. You are on your way to becoming a great Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT)!
“VCA provided me with an immense amount of support through the VTNE process. My regional technician manager, Rosea, helped me all the way from my test application to my license application. Vet tech prep was a great study tool along with the VCA Vetflix series! They also helped cover cost factors which was a huge stress of my shoulders. I'm so thankful for all the support I've received along the way and am so proud to have passed my VTNE. “
