Ok article but should really include more international options. There are vet nurses/techs in many countries besides the US. UK Veterinary Nursing is mentioned, but there's no redirect from Veterinary Nursing or Veterinary Nurse, and no other options are mentioned at all. The oath is possibly relevant, but only for US graduates. All in all I feel the article needs a thorough edit to include the millions of us living outside the US. I'd like to do it myself but I only know UK and Scandinavian options and I'm not skilled enough at formatting to do it really well. If someone would make the effort it would be helpful for anyone looking at options for education within this subject.

Why is there a block around the section "Job description" hiding most of the text and how do I get rid of it?
I have trimmed the external links section heavily, due to its length and the inappropriateness of some of its contents, in line with various policies ( WP:EL notably).
The following message is copied from my talk page for transparency:

Owain,
How can your personal knowledge or lack thereof be irrelevant to an article where you wish to make the decisions as to what is relevant to the topic. As far a Commons is concerned, the photo's location on Commons does not mean that the Navy authored the caption.

I have moved the article to Paraveternary workers: North America in keeping with Owain.davies example of Paramedic: United States. As written the article only treats North American paraveterinarys.

Talk:Paraveterinary workers in North America → Talk:Paraveterinary workers – With two editors making moves simultaneously, this talk page became separated from its article. This talk page belongs at Talk:Paraveterinary workers, rather than this daughter article. If they could please be recombined OwainDavies ( about)( talk) edited at 09:16, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Nurses are autonomous professionals who may work along side doctors or independently. Paraveternary workers (PVW for short) are required to under the supervision of a vet. They have take no official position on anything animal related such farming practices or cruelty laws and report to vets rather than other PVWs unlike nurses who answer only to senior nurses.
PVWs are subservient to the vets and therefore do as they're told, whether it's in the animals interest or not. Nurses are not required to follow doctors that aren't in the patient's interest, in fact they're legally required not to.
Nurses can and often do testify against doctors in lawsuits, disciplinary proceeding, and public consultations. I've never heard of a PVW testifying against a vet, ever.
PWVs will adondon an animal patient to save themselves or if ordered to by their vet employers. A nurse is never to abandon a patient. Doing so would likely mean license suspension.
Therefore, they ought stay titled as they are. The title of Nurses clearly isn't necessary or accurate.
There is no such thing as a United States veterinary technician's oath. I'm sure Midland College's vet tech program seeks to advertise the dedication and professionalism they seek to instill in their students. However, I question the value this box adds to the article, as there is in fact a nationwide Code of Ethics for veterinary technicians - but no oath. If we could put an infobox about the Code of Ethics, that would be useful. As it stands, this is misleading and borderline advertising. <> Alt lys er svunnet hen ( talk) 07:55, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
