If you are pursuing a career as a veterinary technician and would like VTNE prep classes to help you prepare for the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Exam), look no further than Varsity Tutors. The VTNE was created by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards to evaluate the competency of veterinary technicians to show various state and provincial agencies that they are qualified to be credentialed. A VTNE course can provide you with services and support to help you form skills and create strategies that may prove beneficial as you prepare for the exam.
VTNE classes can help you create time management strategies, providing you with a real-life feel as to what the exam may be like. Classes can also help you build study plans specific to the areas and domains you would like to focus more on. With a VTNE prep class, you won't have to worry about the amount of time you can study or review content, there is no set time frame. A VTNE class provides you the chance to study or review topics like the proper ways to administer medications via the appropriate routes or properly preparing a patient for surgical procedures and dentistry, all at times that fit within your schedule.
The VTNE will cover a wide variety of topics ranging from surgical nursing and prepping the surgical environment to diagnostic imaging and being able to utilize your anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology knowledge as it applies to diagnostic images. VTNE courses can help you prepare for the exam by covering the varying topics with an in-depth focus to help you understand the content specifics as well as the necessary differences and similarities between them all. Here is an example of a question you may see on the exam:
Which of the following mouth rinsing agents has the best antibacterial properties?
-
- 1. Zinc ascorbate
- 2. Sodium hypochlorate
- 3. Hydrogen peroxide
- 4. Chlorhexidine gluconate
Examples like the one listed above are included with a VTNE course along with the services and support that can help you develop your knowledge step-by-step and also provide you with the confidence that can help you achieve success on the exam.
The final exam will consist of nine domains. Each domain will be inherently different, but may also include some overlapping content and knowledge. A VTNE prep course can help you focus on areas that you may not feel as comfortable with like pharmacy and pharmacology or laboratory procedures. A VTNE course can provide you with one-on-one attention, providing you with the support that can help you develop a deeper and more complete understanding of content the exam may contain and the domains as a whole. Here is a list of the nine domains a VTNE class will support you with as well as the number of questions each domain will contain:
Practice Domains | number of questions | % of questions |
Pharmacy and Pharmacology | 18 | 12% |
Surgical Nursing | 17 | 11% |
Dentistry | 12 | 8% |
