Learn about Veterinary Nursing Careers at Oct. 17 Open House

If you are looking at professions on the rise,  a career in veterinary nursing might be for you! Find out at our open house on Oct. 17.

Veterinary Nursing careers

Dr. Richard Flora, dean of the  veterinary nursing programs at St. Petersburg College, shared that “employment opportunities for veterinary nurses have been increasing and are expected to continue to increase.  The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the demand for veterinary technicians to grow at 19 percent between 2014 and 2024, much higher than the average for all professions.”

On-campus and online

If you are concerned about available time to attend campus classes, you can earn your degree in  veterinary nursing by attending class fully online (either an associate or bachelor’s degree). If you have more flexibility and prefer the traditional classroom environment, you can obtain your associate degree on-campus.

SPC’s programs are accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association and offer students engaging and varied learning experiences, whether the student is on campus or online.

Annual Open House  – Oct. 17th from 4 to 7 p.m.

At the event you can speak to current students and graduates of the program, faculty, see student demonstrations, take a tour of the facility, and speak to an advisor to see how you can major in the field of veterinary nursing.   You can even interact with our furry four-legged friends for adoption.  Come out and visit with a variety of exhibitors associated with the field of veterinary medicine as well.
