Professional Excellence
in Veterinary Nursing
VNASA introduced this award in 1999 with the aim of
encouraging all veterinary nurses to strive for excellence and to
be recognized for the vital role they perform in caring for clients and their
animals and promoting the human-animal bond. It is held in the same
year as the biennial congress, however this year
is has been postponed to coincide with the World Veterinary Congress
in Capetown 2011. The Award recipient’s prize is a
sponsored trip to an international veterinary congress.

This award is currently sponsored by Hills 

The Annual Veterinary Nurses Month
was introduced in 2009. Nurses working in all fields of the profession are encouraged during this month to make an effort to promote the profession of Veterinary Nursing with innovative projects, competitions and displays. Any proceeds collected from these are donated to charity. Prizes are awarded for best display, most innovative concept or event, best photo promoting our profession and one overall winner.
