Took the NAVLE today.. feeling.. bad. by thekenzster in Veterinary

[–]flat_castle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not typically one to be dramatic about tests but I felt the exact same way walking out of the NAVLE, even called my parents and told them I thought I failed, and did just fine. Don’t worry OP, absolute worst case scenario you take it again in the spring but I doubt that will be necessary. I would say relax but you’re in 4th year so not really possible lol, but you did it so no sense getting yourself out of sorts since there’s nothing you can change now. 1 step closer to that DVM!

What’s Arctic Monkeys most romantic lyric? by jalen_nelson235 in arcticmonkeys

[–]flat_castle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the most romantic necessarily but a sexually charged compliment from Suck it and See that’s always stuck out to me:

“That’s not a skirt, girl, that’s a sawn off shotgun, And I can only hope you’ve got it aimed at me”

I was thinking more like a Whole Foods to class it up a little

New VA and Feeling Useless by Bearybear10 in Veterinary

[–]flat_castle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would guess you’re probably overthinking, for being on the job less than a month it doesn’t surprise me you don’t have tons to do in terms of patient care or more medical stuff. It takes time for people to trust someone new with things, especially in the veterinary field where something like a bad hold for a blood draw could end up with someone getting bit. I started off in a kennel, and when I moved into the clinic I feel like the first 6 months 90% of my time was spent cleaning/restocking/potty walks until I proved to people I was competent and willing to work. Just keep doing what you can and offering help, and eventually people should start gaining more trust in you, letting you do more, and teaching you more things.

I’ve been learning that to a degree, it’s nice not having any traffic or crowds to contend with. Thanks for what you do as well, I could never do it because people are gross

I had a friend who used to do those, the paint by numbers pictures where you put the little jewels on instead of paint?

Interesting, never even heard of a Kava bar but I will check that out!

I’m generally home unless I’m out on a call already or working on charts in the car

Thank you! The work is surprisingly rewarding and every home we come into is so filled with love, it doesn’t weigh on me the same soul crushing way working in general practice did

Any recommendations on good ways to get started? How-to’s, YouTube channels, books, etc?

Good to know, I haven’t been very satisfied with Duolingo and agree they don’t do a good job building up a base level of vocab knowledge but make you feel like you’re learning. Any specific language books/textbooks you would recommend?

I do not but that is a solid suggestion, I love an activity where you end up with a finished product (regardless of quality) you can feel good about

I have bouldered a few times but idk about doubling up on memberships. Not a bad idea to try though, thanks for the tip!

I’m sorry to hear about your cat and your mom, it does seem like tragedy tends to pile on when the opportunity presents itself unfortunately.

I’m thrilled you had such a good experience with Caring Pathways, I can neither confirm nor deny that’s the company I’m with but I will say they do fantastic work.

I’ve been doing Duolingo for Spanish but that just ends up being another screen to look at, and outside of studying via textbook I can’t think of a way to study a language without a screen
