Are we a dying profession?

Fellow Vet techs…how is staffing at your hospital? What makes the difference?

All the research I’ve done…we’re heading toward the worst staffing crisis yet to come. With our industry only growing, it seems most techs are starting to jump ship because covid just pushed them over the edge.

Source: I’m an RVT, and currently work in recruiting. And I’m getting really tired of telling leadership we have to pay A LOT MORE than what we are and we just have to do better in general because we’re heading in the wrong direction. Thoughts are appreciated! Encouragement….too. I’m feeling pretty defeated.
