Veterinary Nurse

Veterinary nurses work alongside veterinary surgeons to provide care for sick and injured animals. Their responsibilities include assisting in surgical procedures, administering medications, monitoring anaesthesia, taking blood samples, and providing advice to pet owners about animal care and nutrition. The role requires compassion, attention to detail, and the ability to handle animals safely and kindly. Most veterinary nurses in the UK are required to complete a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and register with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. The job can involve working irregular hours, including weekends and evenings, especially in emergency or animal hospital settings.
