The nursing process is an organizational tool that has been used in human medicine for many years to guide human nursing students and promote patient care. The use of the nursing process to develop veterinary nursing care plans in veterinary medicine allows veterinary technicians to function in a similar capacity to that of human nurses – using critical thinking and veterinary nursing knowledge to institute a high standard of care and enhance patient care. Attendees will explore patient scenarios and learn how to cooperatively create care plans in a team-based workshop environment.
