You became a veterinary nurse because you wanted to give great care.

And now you want to take that even further... continually learning, developing and applying your new skills, discussing your cases with the vets (rather than just being directed by them) and feeling like your time, skills and expertise are acknowledged.

But right now, you feel like you could be doing more...

  • Perhaps you're feeling like you're not able to treat your patients as effectively as you'd like to.

  • Maybe you feel overlooked, or like you're not listened to when nursing your medical cases - or that you lack the confidence to advocate for your medical patients.

  • Or maybe you'd love to do more with your medical patients, but you just don't have enough time to dedicate to each of them.

I know, because I've been there, too.

  • I know what it's like to feel stagnant, and unable to progress in your career.

  • I know how frustrating it is to feel like you have so many patients to care for and no time to give the level of care you'd like.

  • I know how it feels to not have your opinions listened to - or to feel like you don't know enough about the cases you're seeing to have an opinion!

  • And I know how it feels to not think you're good enough.

    • Introducing the VIMN Learning Platform!

    CPD courses, memberships and community spaces for nurses interested in medicine. Come and be part of a community who learns together and supports each other through their studies.

    I created these courses because I want every veterinary nurse to get the most out of their career. To build new skills, to arm themselves with knowledge, and to do it in a relaxed, informal, easy way.
