💚Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month 2024 💚

Registered Veterinary Nurses and the wider nursing team of Student Veterinary Nurses and Veterinary Care Assistants are a fundamental part of the clinical team.

We hope you have enjoyed seeing the posts that we shared giving an insight to “what vet nurses do”. Veterinary nursing is a diverse and rewarding career where no two days are never the same.

It might be the last day of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month but we will always celebrate our incredible nurses ✨ they are proud of the job they do, and we are proud of them 🥰🩺💚🐾

Placing Intravenous Catheters

A big part of our nurses job is the placement of intravenous catheters. Here you can see Daisy, our student nurse placing an IV line in a patient.

All patients who require a sedation or anaesthetic at Ardene House will have an intravenous catheter placed when they are admitted. This can be used to administer medication and for intravenous fluids when under anaesthetic but also ensures that we have constant intravenous venous access should we need it. The catheter is removed just before a patient goes home.

🩻 Diagnostic Imaging 💚

Did you know that our Registered Veterinary Nurses are highly trained in diagnostic imaging and will regularly be in charge of taking X-rays and CT scans?

As part of our training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse we need to learn how to correctly position for X-rays in order to get the best and most accurate images. This skill is part of the practical examinations we take to gain our qualification.

At Ardene House we are also delighted to have our CT scanner and our team have had additional training to perform CT scans.

The veterinary surgeons will report the results.

We were delighted with the turnout to our recent Veterinary nursing career night 🩺

Nicky J and Frances did a presentation on Veterinary Nursing which covered the pathways into veterinary nursing, what student vet nursing entails, the different nursing roles within practice, what veterinary nurses do in a typical day and progression within the profession for career development 💚

Linda, Kelly and Julia were on hand to give tours of the hospital 🏥 along with our little helper Isla.

We hope everyone that came along found it useful and enjoyed the evening as much as we did 🤗
