Job description
ABOUT VEG In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!
At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.
As a Nursing Trainer, you have one of the most meaningful jobs at VEG: helping others grow. You’re not just building skills—you’re building confidence, momentum, and careers in emergency medicine. Whether you’re working 1:1 on the floor, guiding peer-led sessions, or developing educational tools, your impact will be felt hospital-wide. You’ll tailor training to every learning style, celebrate every milestone, and say yes to every VEGgie who is ready to take the next step. Your work helps make VEG a place where people learn, lead, and love what they do.
Partner with leadership to identify individual and team training needs

Organize peer training opportunities and build a strong mentoring culture
Collaborate with nursing managers and professional networks to broaden impact
Develop and refine training content (i.e. presentations, videos, simulations, and assessments)
Ensure all training aligns with VEG’s culture, mission, and emergency standards of care
High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s degree or higher in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited program strongly preferred
Credentialed as a veterinary technician (CVT, RVT, LVT, LVMT) in the state the VEG practice is located; VTS in ECC, internal medicine, or anesthesia/analgesia a plus and will lead to extra considerations in compensation
High level of knowledge and skill in emergency medicine
Previous training experience preferred

Depending on your role, you may be eligible for equity after one year of full time, active employment with VEG, so you can share in our growth and success
A BIG focus on learning and growth, from VEG-created clinical and leadership programs to unlimited ER CE + travel stipend (no really!). Full-time credentialed VEGgies receive a $2,500/year travel stipend. Full-time uncredentialed VEGgies receive a $1,000/year travel stipend.
up to 10 weeks at 100% of regular salary and inclusive fertility and family-building care for all types of families
Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work
And the little (big) things, like comfy scrubs, cool VEG swag, and food in the fridge for when you’re hungry
At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and kindness. Our mission is “Helping people and their pets when they need it most.” That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.
Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world’s veterinary emergency company.
