Dear new grad vets: Some of your greatest mentors won’t have DVM after their names.

One of my best mentors as a new grad was a vet tech.

I’ll never forget freezing during a STAT. I knew the medicine, but in that moment, my hands wouldn’t move.

My vet tech didn’t judge me or push me aside. She physically guided me through what needed to be done.

Her experience became my confidence.

That moment taught me something I’ll carry forever: There is wisdom that only comes from years on the treatment floor, caring for patients, recognizing subtle changes, and navigating emergencies. No textbook can replace that.

There is no room for ego in veterinary medicine.

Your degree doesn’t make you the only expert in the room. Listen to your techs, learn from them, and respect their experience.

To the veterinary nurses who guide us, challenge us, advocate for our patients, and help shape the doctors we become
 thank you!! 👏

Our patients don’t need our egos. They need our teamwork. Happy Vet Tech Week!

Your next step doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s.

Maybe you want support in one area of practice.

Perhaps you’re looking for help with the bigger transition from student to veterinarian.

We’ve brought our books and course together on our website so you can explore what fits your needs right now.

Turns out, what we THOUGHT made someone a great veterinarian 12 years ago looks a little different now. 👀

We used to think being a great vet meant having all the answers, never making mistakes, and being able to handle whatever walked through the door.

12 years later? We’ve learned a few things. 😅

The truth is, becoming a great veterinarian isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being willing to keep learning, growing, and showing up.

đŸŽ™ïž On this month’s second Vets on the Rise private podcast drop, we are getting candid about the cases that still intimidate us, the advice that’s stuck with us, and what we’d tell our new-grad selves.

✹ PLUS, have you seen our newly redesigned website?! We’ve given Vets on the Rise a fresh new look, and we’d love for you to check it out!

Head to the link in our bio to explore the new website and subscribers, listen to the latest podcast episode that dropped this morning.

We’re VERY good at remembering everything that went wrong each week.

The question we couldn’t answer. The catheter we couldn’t place. The lecture we didn’t understand. The consult that didn’t go to plan.

What about all the little things that went RIGHT? đŸ„č

Maybe you made it to every lecture, or you finally hit that vein! Maybe you survived a chaotic shift without getting a**l glands on you.

IT ALL COUNTS. 👏

So let’s hear it

👇 What’s one tiny, silly, or seriously underrated win you’re celebrating this week?

No achievement is too small. We’re hyping you up regardless.

I froze during surgery as a new grad vet, and I still remember how embarrassed I felt. đŸ„ș

I had spent YEARS working toward becoming a veterinarian. I had the degree. I had the knowledge, but in that moment, my confidence completely disappeared.

And you know what? That experience has stayed with me.

Not because it made me a bad veterinarian, but because it showed me just how important continued surgical exposure, repetition, and supportive mentorship are in those first few years after graduation.

We don’t talk enough about how intimidating surgery can feel for new grads.

The fear of making a mistake.

The pressure to know what you’re doing.

The embarrassment of asking for help.

WE GET IT BECAUSE WE’VE LIVED IT. ❀

It’s one of the biggest reasons we created our Surgical Case Bundle.

- Instant-download surgical resource
- Mini-course add-on featuring real-life walkthroughs of a spay, neuter, and hernia repair

Something you can revisit, review, and learn from as you continue building your surgical skills alongside hands-on experience and mentorship because confidence doesn’t happen overnight.

👇 TWO THINGS I WANT TO KNOW:

1. Have you ever frozen or completely blanked during surgery? Let’s normalize talking about it.

2. Want to check out our Surgical Case Bundle? Comment Support and we’ll send the link straight to your DMs!

Looking back, I realize that caring deeply and carrying everything aren’t the same thing.

Some lessons take a little time and distance to understand. This is one I wish I had learned sooner. đŸ©·đŸŸ

We have both left jobs that, for one reason or another, stopped serving us.

Sometimes it was a lack of mentorship. Sometimes we wanted more... more growth, leadership, or a path toward ownership, and there wasn’t room for that in our current practice. Sometimes our priorities outside of vet med changed, and we realized the demands of the job no longer aligned with the life we wanted.

One thing we REALLY want new grads to hear:

Your first job should be about finding a place where you can learn, grow, and feel supported.

Yes, salary and benefits matter, but when you’re choosing that first position, don’t underestimate the value of strong mentorship. Look for people who will answer your questions, talk through cases, help you build confidence, and give you room to become the veterinarian you want to be.

And if things aren’t working? Communicate first. Ask for what you need. Give the practice an opportunity to address the problem. Have the uncomfortable conversations about mentorship, scheduling, workload, growth, or whatever isn’t working.

But then pay attention to what happens next...

If you’ve communicated, tried to work through the challenges, and given things a real chance to improve, but nothing changes, you’re allowed to explore your options.

You are a hot commodity. There are other opportunities out there.

Leaving a job doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes a job teaches you exactly what you need, and sometimes it teaches you exactly what you don’t want.

Your first job is just that: your first. It doesn’t have to be your forever. đŸ€

Save this for yourself or send it to the new vet who might need to hear it today.

Would you be open to sharing your experience with your own career journey? Your story might be exactly what another veterinarian needs to hear.

You spent years learning how to become a veterinarian
 but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to magically know how to navigate everything that comes after graduation. đŸ©ș🎓

Your first months in practice come with a LOT of firsts: first solo cases, first difficult conversations, first “wait
 I’m the doctor?!” moments. 😅

This right here is exactly why we created our New Vet Jumpstart Guide books: practical, real-world guidance to help you bridge the gap between vet school and practice with a little more confidence and a lot less figuring-it-out-alone energy.

You don’t need to know everything on day one. You just need good resources in your corner. đŸ€

📚 Comment “BOOKS” and we’ll send you more info about our New Vet Jumpstart Guide books!

After spending this weekend speaking with vet students and new grad vets, Monica and I walked away thinking a lot about what the people entering this profession need from us.

Things like... support, kindness, people who check in and really mean it, and the reminder that no job or career path is worth feeling trapped.

These conversations feel especially heavy right now as our profession grieves the loss of Dr. Cierra Cadena. We did not know Cierra personally, and we won’t speculate about her story, but her loss has made us think deeply about how we show up for one another in this profession.

Tomorrow morning, we’re dropping a new private Vets on the Rise podcast episode about exactly that.

We also want to do more than talk about it. From October through December, Vets on the Rise will donate a percentage of our sales to the Cierra Cadena Legacy Fund, created by her family to help improve the veterinary internship experience and support meaningful change within our profession.

Be kind. Check on your people. Make it safe for someone to say, “I’m not okay here.”

Because vet med is hard enough... Let’s not make it harder on each other. đŸ€
