About the NV Vet Tech Exam
Nevada's veterinary technician jurisprudence exam is a take-home test covering NRS Chapter 638 and NAC Chapter 638. It requires a 90% passing score - one of the highest thresholds in the nation. Candidates must also pass the VTNE with a minimum score of 425 and submit a recommendation letter from a veterinary professional. Nevada's unique three-tier supervision system (immediate, direct, indirect) is a key focus area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Nevada's jurisprudence exam passing score so high?
Nevada requires 90% to pass - one of the highest in the US. Because the exam is take-home (allowing reference to NRS 638 and NAC 638), the high threshold expects near-mastery of Nevada veterinary law. You should be very familiar with the statutes before attempting the exam.
What are Nevada's three levels of supervision?
Immediate: veterinarian within visual and audible range. Direct: veterinarian on premises, quickly available. Indirect: veterinarian off-premises but has given written or oral instructions. Different procedures require different levels.
How many CE hours does Nevada require?
Nevada requires 40 hours of Board-approved CE per biennial (2-year) renewal period. No more than 20 hours may be through distance learning. Renewal fee is $150, due May 15 of each odd-numbered year.
Who can access controlled substances in a Nevada veterinary facility?
Access to controlled substances is restricted to veterinarians or veterinary technicians only. All purchases must be made by or with the knowledge of a veterinarian, and all receipts must be verified by a veterinarian.
What VTNE score does Nevada require?
Nevada requires a minimum VTNE score of 425 in addition to the 90% passing score on the state jurisprudence exam and a letter of recommendation from a veterinary professional.
