Using it well
One named person to ask “silly” questions makes a new hire faster and more likely to stay.
Experience at another clinic is not the same as knowing your protocols. Watch each skill once before signing it.
The 30-day check-in is when small problems are still easy to fix. Put all three in the calendar on day one.
Printing, editing, and what the form does and doesn’t cover.
Paperwork and system access before the first day, a tour and introductions, safety training (radiation, anesthetic gases, chemicals, sharps, zoonoses, and bite prevention), practice policies, role-specific skills sign-off, and regular check-ins through the first 90 days.
Basic onboarding takes a week or two, but most practices find it takes around 90 days for a new hire to be fully independent in their role.
It depends on your state and the work done. Common topics include radiation safety, hazard communication for chemicals, anesthetic gas exposure, sharps, and zoonotic disease. Check OSHA and state requirements.
Yes. The skills table has blank rows. Fill them in for each role, or type them in online before printing.

A structured way to judge a working interview. Everyone who worked with the candidate rates the same skills on the same scale and writes what they actually saw, so the hiring decision rests on observations rather than a general feeling.

A one-month checklist that sits on the anesthesia machine. Ten checks down the side, every day of the month across the top, so the morning machine check takes two minutes and anyone can see it was done.

A one-container-per-sheet controlled drug log. Every administration, dispense, and waste gets its own line with a running balance and a witness for waste, so counts reconcile and records are easy to pull.
A starting point, not legal or clinical advice. VetStack’s forms are general templates. Requirements for medical records, consent, and controlled substances vary by state and practice, so review the wording with your practice’s attorney and check your state veterinary board’s rules before adopting a form as standard.
