About this role
Modern Animal is hiring a Veterinary Nurse in Los Angeles who can deliver general practice care with technical skill and genuine compassion. You'd work alongside a team that prioritizes clear communication and integrity, taking on responsibilities that span routine GP procedures and dental work—or developing expertise in dentistry if that's new to you. The role asks you to be both clinically competent and emotionally present, supporting both the animals in your care and the families making difficult decisions.
The position suits someone with at least two years of veterinary nursing or related experience who's drawn to a workplace actively rethinking how veterinary medicine operates. Modern Animal emphasizes culture intentionally, offering clear pathways for growth, continuing education funding that increases over time, and a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, mental health coverage, 401(k) matching, and paid parental leave. You'd earn between $30 and $34 per hour, with potential for a sign-on bonus and equity as part of the overall package.
This is a role for someone who wants their work to matter beyond the clinical tasks—someone who sees value in building trust with clients and colleagues and who's energized by being part of a team genuinely committed to making the profession more equitable and human-centered.
