Read what super nurse Anin Badra has to say about working at Treendale Pet Medical. Anin has worked at Treendale for nearly nine years….
Anin
I’ve been at Treendale Pet medical for nearly 9 years now. There are quite a few things I really like here, as someone who wants to have a fulfilling career. The first one is how much nurses are not only allowed, but encouraged to do here. There is a very real culture of utilising the most of our nursing team’s skills – We have a kennel hand for the brunt of the cleaning and a dedicated reception team – so I get to do nurse stuff!
There’s also a lot of incentive and support to further study, and we’re encouraged to find our niche and enjoy being great at it. With everyone focusing on their favourite parts, work is a lot more fun.
I like being taken seriously – the treatment is done in conversation with nurses and when I advocate for patient, I’m never worried I’ll be dismissed even if my suggestion is not taken. I also found that speaking up is encouraged, at the end of the day, we all care about our patients, and our fervour comes from that. If you can back your opinion up, it will be taken seriously. If your ideas for a change/improvement of a system are good, then we change.
I am paid above award and for every minute of work – which makes me feel respected. I never have to worry if staying back to help on an extra busy day is to my detriment or feel taken advantage of.
I really like being proud of what we can offer. Fancy machines, less common treatments, advanced surgeries, a beautiful hospital. It is easier to take pride in the work you do when you got the right tools and environment and a team willing to go the distance.
I really like that there are always snacks. I bring snacks to share, so do others. The clinic always has some too. And I mean, I like sugar, but I love the camaraderie of sharing baked goods and feeling cared for when you had a tough day and the cupboards are never short on the exact cookies I like. That Lu makes the caramel slices I love when the week looks busy, that Cat enjoys eating my popcorn, that Nicci shares her chicken’s egg… Just the loveliness of caring and being cared for. The people are some of the best parts – there’s a lot of joking, and laughing, and making someone a tea after a tough case. I’ve given and received many hugs, and I feel genuinely cared for.
The building is new, but the clinic is pretty old. We have so many clients who have been coming here for decades, and that kind of loyalty and trust makes for some wonderful warm-and-fuzzy client interactions.
I think this is a place where hard work, loyalty and skill are recognised and rewarded. Like, your efforts are not a waste of time and what you want to get good at gets nurtured. I’ve never expressed wanting to practice or learn a skill and not have that be immediately fostered, guided, allowed to have a go. Even when I get stage fright, I’m cheered on.
