💗 HAPPY VETERINARY NURSE DAY! 💗🐾
Veterinary nursing is so much more than just holding a patient or assisting the vets. Our nurses are highly skilled professionals with specialised training, technical knowledge and hands-on expertise. From collecting blood samples, running diagnostic tests and monitoring anaesthesia to assisting in complex surgeries, managing hospitalised patients, administering medications and recognising subtle changes in a patient’s condition, their skills are essential to delivering the very best care. 🩺🩸🐾
And behind all that knowledge and technical skill is a whole lot of compassion, patience, teamwork and love for the animals in their care.
Today, we celebrate the incredible humans behind the scrubs, our amazing team of veterinary nurses! ❤️ We’re incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful team;
✨ Angela — our vibrant and hilarious venipuncture queen, she can hit a vein with her eyes closed. Dehydrated, geriatric dachshunds love to see her coming 💉🩸
✨ Maddy — our surgery superstar! Calm, collected, ridiculously talented and absolute comedy gold, Maddy keeps a cool head in theatre and keeps us laughing while she’s at it.
💪🩷
✨ Kiah — our scheduling queen and resident lab machine whisperer! Keeping the chaos organised, the machines running and all the behind-the-scenes magic happening 👸🧡
✨ Vanessa — our ordering guru and the reason we’re (usually!) stocked with everything we need. Keeping track of all those supplies is no small feat, and we’d be lost without her 📦🫶
✨ Caitlin — our sunshine girl! Always ready for a chat, a laugh and making the day a little more fun. ☀️💛
✨ Crystal — our loud, proud, sassy all-rounder who keeps us entertained and never leaves us wondering what she’s thinking! Life at the clinic would be a whole lot quieter (and far less funny) without her. 😂💅
✨ Renee — our beautiful cattery manager and clinic sweetheart. Bringing so much kindness and care to our patients and making sure they feel safe, loved and thoroughly spoilt during their stay. 🐱💗
✨ Jenny — our newest team member and resident ideas girl! Bringing fresh perspectives, enthusiasm and lovely energy to the clinic. We’re so happy to have you as part of our team! 🥰✨
✨ Alahna — our baby nurse with the sweetest nature and a special soft spot for wildlife. Her caring nature and love for all creatures, big and small, make her such a beautiful addition to the team. 🦘💕
✨ Emma — our spicy cat expert! With a knack for reading feline body language and earning the trust of even the grumpiest patients, she’s the purr-fect person for a little cattitude! 🐱🌶️
✨ Angie — our dependable, do it all superstar! Always happy to roll up her sleeves, lend a hand and jump in wherever she’s needed. Every team needs an Angie! ❤️🐾
Thank you all for the skills you bring, the lives you help save, the comfort you provide, the knowledge you share and the many countless things you do behind the scenes that often go unnoticed. You are skilled, compassionate and absolutely essential to our hospital.
Happy Veterinary Nurses Day to our wonderful team — and to all the veterinary nurses out there who dedicate their days to caring for those who can't say thank you themselves. 🐾❤️
We see you. We appreciate you. And we couldn't do it without you. 🐶🐱❤️
