Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! 💚🩺
Each May, the BVNA celebrate what it means to be a veterinary nurse. As well as educate and spread awareness on what vet nurses actually do and their importance within the profession.
This year, veterinary nurse awareness month is focusing on ‘Compassion and Empathy’.
This means reflecting on the commitment and compassion needed to train and work as a veterinary nurse 📚❤️🩹
Veterinary nurses take on many roles, just some of these include: anaesthetist, radiographer, first aider, laboratory technician, cleaner, surgical nurse, consultant, pharmacist, nutritionist, ward nurse, phlebotomist… The list is never ending! 👩🏼⚕️
We would like to say a big thank you to all of our nursing team at Whitworth Vets, to include our registered vet nurses, student vet nurses and animal care assistants. You may not always see them, but they are hard at work behind the scenes helping to give your pets the love and care they need 🐾
If you have any questions for our nursing team, whether that be more information about what vet nurses do, or some information about what it takes to become a vet nurse, please comment your questions below! 👇
