Summary
I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse with extensive experience in delivering compassionate care to hospitalised animals and providing emergency first aid. My time at Battersea - a charity - has also taught me skills I would not learn in private practice although my private practice skills still remain. I can give medication; I am skilled in inpatient care and surgical preparation, with a strong focus on anaesthesia. I have knowledge and the ability to educate pet owners on animal care and manage medical records efficiently. I can demonstrate leadership in training new staff; I excel in working as a team. I am committed to furthering my veterinary nursing skills while maintaining high standards of animal welfare.
