The long and winding road - a personal perspective on becoming a specialist veterinary nurse

摘要

Veterinary nursing embraces a wide variety of skills and, traditionally, VNs cover many different areas in their day-to-day jobs. However, for a veterinary nurse to be able to specialise their work into one particular area has many advantages. The foremost advantage for most specialised nurses is the increased job satisfaction gained by being able to focus on something that they particularly enjoy. Another significant advantage is the improved patient care offered, as specialised skills develop and specialised teams with like-minded colleagues are built, standardising care at a high level.
