Unleashing the Potential of Vet Nurses in New Zealand with Jade Pengelly - Tales of a Vet Nurse - pt 2

This is the second in the 2-part series where Julie South interviews veterinary nurse practice manager and author of Tales of a Vet Nurse, Jade Pengelly.  

We dive into the controversial topic of how vet nurses are trained and perceived in the UK versus New Zealand. 

Jade Pengelly, shares her insights on the similarities and differences between the two nations and her views on what needs to change in New Zealand clinics to help vet nurses reach their full potential. 

We discuss the importance of building trust and rapport with vets to gain more responsibilities and recognition, as well as the need for culture shifts in some veterinary practices. 

We also touch on the mental health of veterinary employees and employers, management's responsibility to ensure the mental health of their staff, and ways to improve mental health in the veterinary profession. 

Tune in for more on this thought-provoking episode.
