VTNE 2 Month Calendar


ZUKU REVIEW 2-MONTH STUDY PLAN

2-Month Study Plan for VTNE Success


For Study Mode: Do the questions. Look up answers to questions you didn't know or that give you trouble. Make short notes on these.

For Top Topics: Review the written ones or listen to the videos or both. For the ones in weeks 6-8, skim the and focus on "What does a case look like?" and “What might I need to set up for this?” You’ll note there are more Top Topics articles and videos available to you than are recommended in the study schedule—review those if you have extra time and want further information.

For McCurnin's: Focus on the learning objectives given at the start of each chapter. The chapters and page numbers here refer to Bassert, Beal, and Sample's - McCurnin's Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses, 10th ed. No page numbers mean read the whole chapter.
