Summary
We're finishing off Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 2026 with something a little different. No guests, no guidelines. Just me, twenty years of memories, a few things I wish someone had told me earlier, and some honest thoughts on where I think we go from here. In episode 114 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I'm reflecting on nearly two decades of vet nursing - the good bits, the hard bits, the moments I nearly walked away, and the moments that made everything make sense again. We've talked this month about what we can do, and what vets think of us. But this episode is more personal, vulnerable, and about the bigger picture. We're chatting all about where we've come from, where I think we're heading, and what I'd love us to hold onto along the way. If you've ever felt like you weren't quite cut out for this, had moments where you felt exasperated by a profession that didn't value your skills, or wondered whether you were really making a difference, you need to hear this episode. --- Looking for medical nursing CPD? 📲 Get unlimited CPD inside the Library Club: http://vimn.thrivecart.com/libraryclub/ 📲 Snag a webinar from the on-demand library: https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/veterinary-education-webinar-library --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and its content is provided only for information.
