🐾💚 “Just a veterinary nurse” 💚🐾

Veterinary nurses are so much more than people often realise ✨

From monitoring anaesthesia and caring for critical patients, to running emergency procedures, supporting owners, performing diagnostic tests, assisting in surgery, providing rehabilitation, and delivering around the clock care… veterinary nurses are highly skilled professionals with an incredible depth of knowledge 🩺🐶🐱

This POV style video gives just a small glimpse into some of the many roles nurses carry out every single day 💚

As Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to say a huge thank you to all veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses for their compassion, dedication, resilience, and expertise 🐾✨
