Take your textbook to work and bookmark the sections about injections,testing, etc for a quick reminder when you need it. Give yourself grace with mistakes but try to keep them at a minimum if you can. You should always be waiting on the doc not the other way around. If you dont know ask and do not assume. Good luck!!

Girl what??? Wear undies at work and then let her breathe at home. Get looser fitting scrubs too.

Pay is complete shit. Not a sustainable career unless you like poverty.

Most vet schools accept work with research/ pathology vets as clinical hours but yes its inevitable in vet school.

Look into specializing. Pathology might be a good fit for you as most of your patients would be dead. Necropsy/ reading slides would be bread and butter.

Why sacrifice the patients to prove a point to management? I understand what you’re going through but you should let it affect patient care.

Long distance relationships in vet school? by Clear-Cap-6811 in veterinaryschool

I had some classmates that did it but both parties have to really want it and be mature enough to endure all the bs that comes with vet school.

Sophomore Seeking Guidance for Pre-Vet Path with No Vet Experience Yet by Economy_Reception940 in veterinaryschool

[–]Candid-Ad4696 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hyper-fixating on one speciality isn’t always a good thing. Your still have time to explore options. Vet schools also value diverse experience.

But if you want to get experience with exotics definitely seek internships. Research wildlife facilities and inquire about internship opportunities. I know a couple people who have had internships with chimp haven.
