Can a vet nurse REALLY earn enough money to buy a horse? As i really want to be one as i love ALL animals but i would also like a horse of my own one day
hi, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i felt compelled to write this.
i trained to be a vet nurse, qualified and stayed at it for 10 years, it was a case of weighing up cheap treatment verses long hours, for quite frankly an apitance of pay, i came to the conclusion that i would rather do a well paid job with decent holidays no nights and no weekends so i could spend the time with my own animals, also the experiences i had were too much to bear, and had a real effect on me.
I went into the job thinking that vets were all animal lovers, and that being a vet nurse would be the best job in the world, how very wrong i was ,
sorry to put a dampner on it, but i saw things in my ten years behind the scenes at numerous practices that was enough to make me never ever let my animals go behind the scenes at a vets without me ever.
Ever wondered why most pets shake and panic when you walk into a vets?
yes well there you go, i wasnt willing to be witness to the causes of that any longer, i had numerous verbal warnings and was told that i had too may opinions and to just deal with it, i refused to be part of anything that i didnt agree with, because of this i had locum vets complaining that i wouldnt assist them, i refused to be a part of animal cruelty, because of this i left and worked in a total of 4 practices before i couldnt take it any longer, as they were all the same.
i would never recommend vet nursing to anyone after the things i experienced.
Sorry if this wasnt what you wanted to hear, but i felt it was only fair to share my experiences.
