No, because I immediately think of Veterans and someone talking about their bad day. I really wouldn't want some nurse in the VA hospital venting to a veteran who just needs kindness and care.
vet-, vett- (to make a careful and critical examination of something or to investigate someone thoroughly)
To vet was originally a horse-racing term, referring to the requirement that a horse be checked for health and soundness by a veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning "to check". It is a figurative contraction of veterinarian, which originated in the mid-17th century.
