Locate the Centennial Hills veterinary opening
Centennial Hills is a sector plan area of the City of Las Vegas in the northwest of the city. The city’s Centennial Hills Sector Plan describes it as bounded by the Moccasin Road alignment to the north, Cheyenne Avenue on the south, Decatur Boulevard to the east and the Red Rock Preservation Area to the west, about 56 square miles, with Rural Neighborhood Preservation areas of large-lot homes, many with equestrian facilities, where the plan allows some non-commercial raising of domestic animals. The plan says parts of the sector stay unincorporated under an interlocal agreement with Clark County and annex only at the owner’s request, so give the street address and say whether the hospital sits inside the city or in the county’s Lone Mountain town.
Settle restrictive covenant terms before the offer letter
State whether the offer includes a noncompetition covenant and, if it does, the duration, the geography, the scope of restricted work and the consideration that supports it. NRS 613.195 makes a noncompetition covenant void unless it is supported by valuable consideration, imposes no restraint beyond what the employer’s protection requires and no undue hardship on the employee; it bars a covenant from applying to an employee paid solely on an hourly basis, and it bars a covenant from restricting a former employee who serves a former client who left voluntarily without being solicited. A candidate weighing a Centennial Hills role against other hospitals in the northwest valley will ask how far and how long the restriction reaches, so put the terms in the brief rather than leaving them for the final contract. The City of Las Vegas Centennial Hills Sector Plan describes Centennial Hills as about 56 square miles in the northwest of the city, bounded by the Moccasin Road alignment, Cheyenne Avenue, Decatur Boulevard and the Red Rock Preservation Area, with Rural Neighborhood Preservation areas of large-lot homes, many with equestrian facilities, where the plan allows some non-commercial raising of domestic animals. NRS 613.195 sets the limits on any noncompetition covenant a Centennial Hills employer offers: valuable consideration, no restraint beyond what protects the employer, no undue hardship, no application to an employee paid solely by the hour, and no bar on serving a former client who leaves without being solicited. A Centennial Hills brief should carry those covenant terms and should name the emergency hospital that takes after-hours cases, since VEG states that its Las Vegas hospital on South Rampart Boulevard is open 24 hours, seven days a week.

- Consideration that supports the covenant
- Hourly or salaried pay basis for the role
Las Vegas veterinary hiring context for Centennial Hills employers
The Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners states that it licenses veterinarians, veterinary technicians and veterinary facilities, and NAC 638.041 requires a veterinarian to complete at least 40 hours of Board-approved continuing education in the 24 months before each renewal, no more than 20 of them by distance learning, with 20 hours for a licensed veterinary technician. The Board’s application instructions require an AVMA-accredited degree or an ECFVG certificate, a passing NAVLE score reported by AAVSB, letters of good standing from every jurisdiction that has licensed the applicant and a score of at least 90 percent on the Nevada State Jurisprudence Examination, and its FAQ says Nevada has no reciprocity agreement with any state, so most licensees are licensed by endorsement. NRS 638.127 sets renewal on or before May 15 of each odd-numbered year with forfeiture after August 31, and the Board’s FAQ says licenses expire June 30 of each odd-numbered year. The College of Southern Nevada states that its AVMA-accredited Veterinary Nursing associate degree prepares graduates for the VTNE and then the Nevada technician exam. O*NET OnLine, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics 2025 wage data, lists a median annual wage for veterinarians in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas area close to the Nevada median and below the national median, while the area median for veterinary technicians sits above both the state and national medians. The same state rules apply to every Centennial Hills employer, so confirm them before the Centennial Hills search starts.
- Continuing education support: NAC 638.041 requires 40 hours every 24 months and the Board’s continuing education page says at least half must be in person or live, so state the paid time and course costs the practice covers.
- Licensing and start date: the Board emails jurisprudence exam instructions only after the other application components arrive and says it aims to mail a completed license within 3 to 5 business days, so keep the start date separate from the license date.
- Technician delegation: NAC 638.053 and NAC 638.057 define the tasks a licensed veterinary technician may perform under each level of supervision and make the supervising veterinarian responsible for competency, so list the delegated tasks and the supervising doctor by shift.
- Facility permit: NAC 638.0603 requires a Board permit and a Nevada-licensed veterinarian in charge for every veterinary facility, so name that person and the entity that issues the offer.
- Hospital type: NAC 638.069 restricts the term 24 hours to facilities with a veterinarian on the premises around the clock, so say whether the role sits in general practice, overnight emergency or specialty referral.
Confirm clinical credentials and the Centennial Hills hiring decision
Assign responsibility for Nevada license verification through the Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners licensee and facility lookup, plus any employer-required specialty credentials and references. Record the verification date, the license expiration date and unresolved conditions before confirming a start date. BEGHR sources and screens against your agreed requirements; your practice interviews, selects and directly employs the successful professional. The Board determines license eligibility.
What veterinarians compare when weighing a Centennial Hills offer
Candidates reviewing a Centennial Hills position look past the job title. They want to know what kind of veterinary medicine they will practice day to day, which patients and clients they will see, and how the hospital supports them. A clear description of the clinic, the caseload and the team helps the right veterinarians self-select before outreach starts. Experienced veterinarians compare total packages. Spell out how compensation works (salary, production pay or a hybrid), then the benefits: medical, dental and vision coverage, paid time off and holidays, continuing education support, license, DEA and association dues, liability insurance, retirement savings with any match, pet care discounts, and any bonus tied to signing, retention or performance. Leaving these out slows the search because every candidate has to ask.
Team, schedule and growth in a Centennial Hills practice
Support staff shape the working day as much as pay does. Note how many credentialed veterinary technicians and assistants support each doctor, whether there is a dedicated surgery or dental team, and what diagnostic equipment is on site (digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house lab). For newer graduates, describe the mentorship plan; for experienced doctors, describe clinical autonomy and the path to medical director or partnership.
- Full-time or part-time status and the number of scheduled days per week (for example, a four-day week)
- Appointment length, typical daily caseload and the balance of wellness, sick and surgical cases
- Weekend, evening and emergency on-call expectations, and how after-hours care is covered
- The exact Centennial Hills hospital location and any rotation between sites in the Las Vegas area
- Nevada licensing status required at start and the support offered for a transfer or new license
- Start date flexibility, relocation support and how quickly the practice can make a decision
