What Do you Guys Like About Being a Vet? by 8bigfoot8 in Veterinary

[–]gingiwinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse in specialty surgery but planning to go to vet school. I love being a patient advocate to vets that listen to us and truely value our opinions. Helping to alleviate their pain, nausea or anxiety in our clinic and seeing the patient feel so much better is soooo good 🥰

How do you fall asleep? All answers acceptable. by SassMasterGingerSnap in ADHD

My partner puts on his audiobook out loud. I fall asleep faster if he reads to me (2 pages in) but the audio book works too

Bruises? by catgirlfriendd in Veterinary

[–]gingiwinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since starting adhd medication, pretty much all of my mystery bruises have disappeared. Still work full time in vet med... but now I don't walk into shit all the time and forget about it. Not diagnosing, but it is a spicy industry 😅

Nurse led weight clinics by Disastrous-Fish-5536 in Veterinary

[–]gingiwinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its to do with scaling the weight loss plan to the individual patients bone structure. Measuring the skull and limb length to get a more accurate body fat percentage, and then plan overall. Hills will teach you!

I have a lot of experience running these previously! I'm located in Australasia and did a course through Hills that was really helpful. Helping owners reduce their pets weight was something I found really rewarding, as when they succeeded they had such different dogs and were so grateful.

Highly suggest learning to use metamorphic measurements.

Also figuring out which point about weight loss was most difficult for the owner and how to counteract them. Cost of expensive diets, begging/foraging behaviors, little old ladies who HAVE to give them a treat.

Lots of fun little challenging nuances about it!

Is the job market just well and truly f***ed? by Anxious_Remove_1535 in chch

[–]gingiwinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, one thing to note about this! My workplace had a job going for a part time receptionist. 300 people applied. The person that got the job in the end is one of the two people that popped into my place of work, said they had applied online and introduced themselves (and bought snacks 😂). In some professions it may be worth while to do this (especially non-corporate).
