Training to be a veterinary nurse during a global pandemic

Abstract

Veterinary Nurse training during a pandemic can be done – it just takes a lot of self discipline and commitment. There have been push backs but the past year has also been a valuable lesson. There are so many things that I have learnt in the past year and so many skills that will be useful in my future career. For example, being ‘thrown’ in at the deep end meant that I just had to get on with things – I took my first blood sample and performed a scale and polish in the first few months of lockdown.
