Scrubs, sarcasm, and saving lives — one patient (and cocktail) at a time.
Welcome to Vet Tech Nerd Party — the unfiltered, laugh-out-loud podcast where four seasoned Registered Veterinary Technicians gather 'round the mic (and the drink cart) to spill stories, vent, educate, and celebrate the real, raw, and ridiculous world of veterinary medicine.
Hosted by Mallory Dickinson, RVT, and co-hosted by Jenn, Julia, and Erin, this is more than just a podcast — it's a survival circle for the vet tech soul. With over 80 years of combined experience across general practice, shelter med, equine, surgery, emergency, marine mammal, and teaching, the crew dives deep into everything from burnout and boundaries to maggot-infested nightmares, favorite surgical cases, and the art of not losing your mind during a nail trim.
Whether you’re elbows deep in a parvo kennel, dodging anal glands like a ninja, or just trying to remember what day it is — Vet Tech Nerd Party is your new favorite hangout.
🎧 What to expect:
– Candid convos about the chaos and comedy of vet tech life
– Hot takes on workplace culture, teaching, and mental health
– Brutally honest insights, advice, and war stories
– Ridiculous games, dark humor, and relatable moments
– Guests, giveaways, drinks, and debates
🐾 Who we’re here for:
– Vet techs, assistants, and students
– Animal lovers and pet parents
– Veterinary professionals who need a break — and a laugh
– Anyone who’s ever left a neutered testicle in their bra
– You. Especially if you're not okay — and that’s totally okay.
📍 New episodes drop regularly on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.
