Veterinary Nursing at Ethos
At Ethos, veterinary nurses and veterinary assistants are at the heart of patient care. Our nursing teams are hands-on every day, supporting treatments, monitoring anesthesia, assisting with procedures, educating pet parents, and advocating for patients throughout their care journey.
In specialty and emergency medicine, great outcomes depend on strong teamwork. That’s why we build collaborative environments where your skills are valued, your voice matters, and your contributions truly make a difference.
We believe the best medicine happens when every team member practices with purpose and when nursing professionals are respected as essential clinical partners.
Practicing at the Top of Your Training
A defining part of nursing at Ethos is utilization. Our hospitals are designed so veterinary nurses and veterinary assistants can practice at the top of their training and skill set, not just complete tasks.
Veterinary nurses are actively involved in patient assessment, anesthesia monitoring, advanced nursing care, performing procedures, and client education. Veterinary assistants play a critical role in patient care through running diagnostics, procedure support, treatment assistance, and keeping workflows moving smoothly.
Our nursing leaders work closely with medical and hospital leadership to build teams and workflows that support top-of-license and top-of-skill practice so everyone can do meaningful work and grow in their roles.
Our dedicated blood banking program reflects this same level of trust and responsibility, with veterinary nurses managing donor care, supporting transfusions, and participating directly in lifesaving treatment.
Growth, Training, and Development
We meet you where you are and support your growth throughout your career. Whether you’re early in your journey or pursuing advanced clinical or leadership paths, Ethos offers structured training, mentorship, and continuing education to help you build confidence, skills, and long-term fulfillment.
Built on a connected community of nursing professionals, we foster a culture of collaboration, mentorship, and camaraderie, creating opportunities to specialize, lead, and stay engaged in meaningful work over time.
A Voice in Medicine
At Ethos, nursing professionals help shape how medicine is practiced. Through the Nursing Branch of the Specialty Advisory Board, Veterinary Technician Specialists (VTS) from across our hospital network and multiple specialties collaborate to share best practices, strengthen clinical standards, and support interdisciplinary teamwork.
Our hospitals remain locally driven while benefiting from shared knowledge, resources, and connection across the network.
A Career with Purpose
We believe veterinary nursing is a profession with long-term career pathways, not a stepping stone. Whether you’re developing your clinical skills, exploring leadership, or pursuing specialty certification, you’ll find meaningful work, collaboration, and professional respect within our teams.
At Ethos Veterinary Health, veterinary nurses and veterinary assistants aren’t just part of the care team, they help define it. Together, we’re committed to delivering exceptional patient care, supporting one another, and building long, fulfilling careers in veterinary medicine.
