Something I’ve really enjoyed about my higher education course is learning nursing styles and what I canactually doand achieve.I loved learning the science behind it all!My favouritepart isanaesthesia,as itis a massive part oftheveterinary nursing role.ButI loved it all to be honest.It wasdefinitely theright decision for me.

I wantedtobe the best veterinary nurse I can,byexpandingmy skills byworking indifferent practices and becoming a locum.I’venowstarted my own businessas alocum veterinary nurse,meaning I’mself-employed. I have a recruitment agent and an accountant, andI go around other practices and work when and where they need me.
