Meet Devon one of our imaging nurses! 🩺
Devon started volunteering in veterinary practice while still at high school and found this experience cemented her childhood dream of becoming a veterinary nurse. She studied veterinary nursing and practice management at Harper Adams University and graduated with a first class honours degree. Following this she worked in mixed practice for 2 years before moving to a solely small animal practice. During that time she developed a passion for imaging and so became the imaging nurse which involved learning how to use the new on-site CT scanner. After finishing maternity leave she decided to locum for a while but missed the progression a permanent job offers, so after a few years she took the jump into referral nursing and started at Blaise as an imaging nurse. Here she has greatly developed her skills by learning how to use new machines such as MRI and fluoroscopy. As the team is growing, she is becoming involved in training of other staff on the complex imaging machines and continues to develop her skills and knowledge through in house and external CPD.
"Blaise have supported me learning some new skills and I am excited to support other nurses to do the same in the future. The jump into referral nursing hasn't been without its challenges but it has also been so rewarding and I feel like I have grown so much as a nurse."
