## Resource

Today I want to show you what happens when we GET to do more as veterinary nurses and technicians. I'm very aware that, as primarily a referral RVN, there are differences in what I do in referral vs what I do when I work in GP. However, there's one thing that remains the same regardless of the clinic I'm working in that day - I still get to use my skills with medical patients. Internal medicine sounds fancy, but it just means 'medicine'. We all see medicine every day. I was nursing CKD patients, diabetics, dyspnoeic cats, dogs with diarrhoea, etc, WAY before I went into referral. So if you're thinking there's less you can do with your patients because you're in general practice, I want to challenge that thought today. In this episode, I don't just want to tell you what you can do, I want to SHOW you. And to do that, I'm bringing you the real in-clinic stories from the over 200 nurses and technicians that I've worked with inside the Medical Nursing Academy. Those nurses have all done things they should be incredibly proud of. They've helped their patients in new ways, they've changed their clinic culture, and they've indirectly helped the rest of their nursing team develop and cultivate their passions, too. It doesn't matter where you work - you can still use more of your skills and make even more of a difference to your patients, your clients, and your colleagues. So grab a cuppa and let's talk about how. --- 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.veterinar…
