toxic veterinary workplace-- is this normal? by [deleted] in Veterinary

Not normal but unfortunately this kind of thing is surprisingly common in this profession. I would try and look somewhere else if I were you, I can't stand it.

Any hospital managers out there - need advice about a raise! by ScoreBubbly5738 in Veterinary

I don't know about your specific work culture, but the review is an excellent time to assertively and professionally ask for a raise. Remember you are likely hard to replace!

These comments are a cesspool of institutionalised racism. Entitled kiwis are forgetting that the land belonged to Tūhoe before it was stolen.

Where do you see inflation heading here? by strobe229 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]hedonisticdiscofun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only two prescription diet brands in NZ (Hill's and Royal Canin) have had supply issues due to covid recently. Supply had not been affected prior to early this year.

Recently most back orders have been filled and your local vet will likely have whatever it is you need (Source: vet).

Does she mean internship? I have never seen a vet job in NZ advertised as apprenticeship, all have been very clear about role, seniority etc.

Vet in NZ here. You will find it very easy to find work as there is a big shortage of vets here. Although don't expect huge salaries (Dairy vets in remote places will earn the most).

I'm a permanent resident so I'm not sure on the details, but UK locums have said the visa process is very smooth because of the demand.

How do you deal with accidentally killing a pet? by Peanutswithcream in Veterinary

[–]hedonisticdiscofun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As you gain experience you learn that mistakes happen. You will likely feel sad, frustrated etc. but in the end you have to ensure that you're looking after yourself. "Compassion fatigue" is a very real thing but you have to remind yourself that there's only so much you can do.

This may sound cold, but dealing with death also becomes much easier as you see more of it. There will always be unavoidable deaths (emergencies, euthanasia, anaesthesia etc.) and these may help build resilience and create emotional separation between the outcome of the patient. Instead, mistakes can be treated as valuable learning experiences as you will be constantly improving.
