Is Penn Foster’s Vet Assistant program really credible with veterinarians?

Hi! I am currently taking the Veterinary Assistant course through Penn Foster. I was wondering if a hiring veterinarian would look at that as a certifiable program and consider it as credible education or not since it is distance learning? If any Veterinarians could let me know as well that would be fantastic!! Thanks so much!

What do you get paid (if you don’t want to get personal, then what was your STARTING salary?)

I recall once turning in a box tortoise that was run over, to a local veterinary hospital, and the receptionist said that as long as I didn’t want it back, there would be no charge for treatment. Is there a law (in the US or elsewhere) mandating that veterinarians attempt to stabilize protected wildlife that are brought to them? Or is it more of a business ethic to do so, and not a requirement?
