Veterinary nursing awareness month
Introducing Amy
Working as a Medicine Veterinary Nurse at Bristol Vet Specialists is an incredibly rewarding role, and one that I feel truly passionate about. I have been a qualified veterinary nurse for just over five years now, and throughout my career I have always been drawn towards inpatient care and veterinary medicine.
For me, nursing is about so much more than clinical treatment - it’s about ensuring every patient is cared for as an individual. Every animal that comes through our doors has their own personality, needs, and challenges, and I strive to make sure each one receives the highest standard of patient care possible. Whether it’s providing comfort during a long hospital stay, carefully monitoring intensive care patients, or simply taking the time to build trust with a nervous patient, I believe the small details make a huge difference.
One of the most special parts of working in medicine and inpatient care is the bond you form with long-term and intensive care patients. Spending so much time caring for them throughout their recovery journey creates a real connection, and watching them grow stronger each day is incredibly fulfilling.
The most rewarding moment of all is reuniting patients with their owners after a long or difficult stay in hospital. Seeing the relief, happiness, and emotion from both the owners and their pets is something that never gets old, and it is without doubt the best feeling in the world. Knowing you have played a part in helping an animal recover and return home to their family is why I love what I do.
