With Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month concluding on Sunday, but the principles that have run through this month do not, we wanted to show what we have been doing as part of Linnaeus here at Lida Vets to celebrate and remind our nurses of just how much we appreciate them! Over the course of the last 4 weeks, each week has had a different theme starting with compassion.🤗
Compassion to us is what keeps our patients happy and healthy even when their health may not be and we can assure that every single one of our nurses is kind and caring from the minute your pets walk in the door to the moment they leave!💕
Week two was a discussion of mental health and how we all can help our veterinary nurse's wellbeing and encourage them to open up about the day-to-day stresses of working in such a demanding but rewarding industry.💭
Empathy was the theme for week three, which was emphasised that it is not just the grand gestures but also the smaller gestures we appreciate from our nurses, from greeting your pets the moments they walk into the practice to going above and beyond in creating a warm and welcoming practice from their first to their last visit - and all the ones in between too!🐾
Lastly, we wanted to know what and why our fantastic Veterinary Nursing team love most about their jobs, because let's face it, they truly are extraordinary. Their knowledge and expertise are a genuine and deep foundation of what everything else within veterinary nursing is built on, and without passion, the level of care our wonderful nurses pout into their roles would be non-existing.💌
We would all like to say a huge THANK YOU to our brilliant nurses as without you we wouldn't be able to do what we do - and we also would love to say a massive THANK YOU to all of our clients for your kind words over the last month (and years) towards our veterinary nursing team too!🐕🐈🐇🐀🐓🐢
