Veterinary Nurses in only ONE STATE (Queensland).Ireland - Registered Veterinary Nurses (a profession in its infancy).There are currently only seven countries in the world (out of ~195) who have a recognized paraveterinary profession and use the term "Veterinary Nurse" to describe those workers: "Nurse" title protection was in place in the United Kingdom until 1984, where veterinary nurses were referred to as 'registered animal nursing auxiliaries', in line with the naming convention at the time for less qualified assistants in human nursing, called 'nursing auxiliaries'. In some countries this is protected by law, and in the United States, 39 states have title protection over "Nurse", with Nursing Practice Acts mandating that only those who are Registered Nurses (RNs) may use the title "Nurse". Human nursing associations have often claimed rights over the term "nurse". These credentials (whether Licensed, Registered, or Certified ) must be renewed every two years with requirements varying from state-to-state. Graduates must pass the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Exam) to become credentialed in their state. In America credentialed veterinary technicians must attend a Veterinary Technician program approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), most of which are two year programs which confer an Associate of Science (or an Associate of Applied Science) Degree in Veterinary Technology. Most Canadian provinces have a formal registration process and, legally, veterinarians must hire registered veterinary technicians. Veterinary technicians hold a technician degree in Veterinary Technology. In North America, paraveterinary workers who have completed a course of study, passed an examination, and have a defined scope of practice are called veterinary technicians.
