🐨Vet Nurses Awareness Month - Meet Your Nurses🐨
Jessica March, RVN
I have worked at Pride for over 9 years, progressing from Kennel Assistant, to Student Vet Nurse and now to a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN). I have just recently qualified as an RVN and have taken on the role of General Nurse with Imaging, based at Pride Veterinary Centre. My particular interests are Anaesthesia, Diagnostic Imaging and Cardiology. I love that there is variation within my role and that we get to be involved with such interesting cases at Pride. I would love to work towards gaining my anaesthesia certificate, and to do some CPD specifically relating to Cardiology and also ECG’s.
I have a 5 year old Greyhound called Mitch, who we've had for just over 2 years. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family. I enjoy cycling, going for walks and to the gym.

Chelsea Clapham SVN
Chelsea is a Student Veterinary Nurse who is split between the Scarsdale Vets Oakwood and Shelton Lock sites. She started working for Scarsdale in February 2022 and has been on her student journey ever since. Chelsea has always had a passion for animals and says she has dreamed of working with them in one way or another since she was a child.
During her time here at Scarsdale Vets, Chelsea has worked in various departments and has gained lots of experience with many different patients. Through rotating round, she has realised that her favourite area of nursing is consultations and has decided that once she is a fully qualified Veterinary Nurse, she would be interested in becoming a consulting nurse and doing some further certificates in this area. This is mainly as although she finds surgery and inpatients interesting, she likes the bonds that you can create with patients and their families.
At home, Chelsea has three Guinea pigs called, Yoda, Chewy and Saber who she loves spending time with. Chelsea is originally from Rotherham where her dog, named Domino, still lives with her family.
