1. Your first task will be to choose from the Nevada vet tech programs that supply an Associate of Applied Science designated in Veterinary Medicine. As you seek out the venue of your choice, you will want to verify that it has the proper credentialing in veterinarian technology.
2. When you are finished with your degree, you then take two required exams. The first exam is the administered by the Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The other exam is a nationwide test administered by the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE). Check with the Board prior to taking the national exam as they may offer other options for an approved exam.
