Jan aka “The Teacher”
Qualification:
QVN (Cert. IV in Veterinary Nursing), RVN (AVANT, VNCA), ISFM DipFN, RECOVER ALS/BLS certified, Fear Free certified
Experience: 10+ years in Emergency Hospital
Speciality: Feline, VN training and mentoring
About her: When seeing the vets n vet nurses tried their best to save her family dog at her younger age, little Jan was so impressed and made her decide to become one of them in the future. (The truth is, she loves being a nurse, but she mostly loves wearing those professional scrubs with lovely colours)
In the first few years of her vet nurse life, she worked in different clinics and met so many incredible vets and vet nurses. She learned so much from them however one thing that made her so confused was things were done in so many different ways and she never knows what is right or what is wrong (Even Dr. google can’t help). So, she decided to find the answers herself and she dived into vet nurse professional studies.
The more she learned, the more she realized how much she doesn’t know. Since then, she can’t control herself from continuously studying and improving every day. She believes the key to delivering quality medicine to furry patients is a team of well-educated and experienced medical staff. She wants to improve the quality and professionalism of veterinary nurses/ assistants, so the best care can be provided to the patients and pet owners. And she will do whatever she can to make this happen. Therefore, she joined Nerdy Vet Nurse in 2022, to provide more learning and continuous development opportunities for veterinary nurses.
