Vicki Beinhart, Gold Coast, QLD (posted 22nd May) Experienced Vet Nurse

My name is Vicki; I'm a uni student and part time/casual vet nurse seeking a new placement, as a combination of budget cuts and a fellow nurse returning from maternity leave has left my current small practice unable to offer enough hours for all of us. I currently have two and a half year's experience in routine small-animal surgery, and a six month's experience in emergency. I still feel like I'm learning new things every day I work, but I have plenty of experience with most nursing and reception skills, am confident with and friendly to clients, and am experienced with Cornerstone and RXWorks programs. I work well as part of a team and independently, and am always trying to learn more about my job and the veterinary field to best care for my patients and represent my clinic. I'm keen to continue within the small animal or emergency field, but would also be very excited to branch out into large animal or exotic nursing or care-taking if the opportunity arises. Ideally, I would work around the Gold Coast, but would be willing to travel up closer to Brisbane for the right position. Weekend and after-hour times work well with me, but I'm also able to build my school schedule to best fit work hours.

I can be reached at 04 04208789 or at vbeinhart@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Kaila Ford, SE Suburbs, Melbourne, VIC (posted 30th April) Trainee Vet Nurse

My name is Kaila Ford, I am 20 years old and currently seeking a position as a trainee/entry level vet nurse within the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Alternatively I can also work within the Northern suburbs of Melbourne as well.

Currently I am not undertaking any studies regarding vet nursing or animals but wish to start a cert IV in vet nursing through a vet clinic as soon as possible. I am very eager to begin a career with animals and am very confident you won't find anyone with more passion than I do towards the care of our furry, feathered and scaled friends. 

My current qualifications include an Advanced certificate in makeup artistry and a certificate II in business administration. I believe my certificate II in business administration benefits me the most at the moment because it provides me with the skill and understanding to undertake any administration duties I may be asked to do. These include answering phones, making spread sheets, customer service and writing letters. 

Regarding the animal industry I currently do not have any experience professionally. I have however owned many different animals in life including horses, rabbits, goats, cats, dogs, birds and ferrets. This gives me experience in handling a small variety of animals and an understanding on how to take care of them. 

I am seeking any type of employment at the moment (full time, part time and casual) or alternatively am willing to do volunteer work to gain skills I might need to gain employment. I am available to start immediately and can work weekdays, weekends, over time and public holidays. I am willing to travel to begin my dream career. 

I am a responsible and reliable person who knows where she wants to go in life. I thrive in a learning environment and learn quick. I am just waiting for someone to give me the chance to show them just how good I can be!

I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2010 and have been working in practice for over 5 years. I am currently looking for casual/locum or perm employment in the Central Coast region.

Since being in Australia I have worked at a specialist hospital, which has allowed me to continue to develop my nursing skills. I was split between working with the surgical and medical team and so gained experience in both areas.

I am a very compassionate hard working person, and really do enjoy my work. I love working as part of a team but also have enjoyed working independently on night shifts. My customer service skills are very good and I feel I am able to build professional relationships with clients easily. I have used a variety of veterinary softwares and find it easy to adapt to new softwares when necessary.

Sophie Foot, Australia-wide (posted 12th April) Overseas Qualified and Experienced Vet Nurse

Aged 21 years old, looking for work anywhere in Australia, to start at the end of May/beginning of June. Currently living and working in Devon, UK.

I first started my training with the RCVS gaining my Level 2 and Level 3 theory certificates but then went on to qualify this year from the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing with a Cert IV, I have 6 years very hands on experience at a hospital branch working both day and night shifts, nursing critical and non critical cases. I am very familiar with digital x-ray, endoscopes, ultrasound, ECG, diathermy, Idexx laboratory equipment. I have been using Robovet by vet solutions for the last 6 years but i am very adaptable with computer programs.

I am able to take blood, place animals on drips (including placing the i/v line), place urinary catheters, i am able to intubate animals (done on an emergency basis), i have also been involved with many blood transfusions. i am very familiar with most Idexx laboratory equipment so very adapt at running in house blood samples/urine samples.

I am a very compassionate/confident nurse with a bubbly personality, Ilove all animals great and small. I loved working my night shifts because of the variety of cases I saw and treated. Working nights you are left on your own in the building all night to nurse all the in-patients, answer the out of hours phone calls and triage cases- calling the vet in as and when they are needed, so I am more than capable of working on my own.

Working days meant working as part of a team - I also enjoy this, as a busy hospital branch we had between 10-20 operations per day to see in, operate on, and discharge at the end of the day, this didn't include all the inpatients we had in, so working as a team was extremely important.

If you have any opportunities for me then please feel free to call me on- +447803373134 or email me- sophie.foot@outlook.com for a CV and covering letter.

Rachel Quick, Panania, Western Sydney, NSW (posted 9th April) Overseas Qualified and Experienced Vet Nurse

Hello my name is Rachel Quick. I am 24 years old, and a fully qualified Veterinary Nurse through the Royal College of Veterinary Nurses. I finished my training in January 2011 after 2 1/2 years of hard work and commitment. I trained and worked in a very busy practice of 11 nurses and 22 veterinary surgeons, my involvement within the practice on a day to day basis consisted of monitoring anaesthesias, IVFT, dentals, taking blood samples and running them in the laboratory, packing surgical kits and assisting in orthopaedic, elective and emergency procedures. I have also worked with a variety of anaesthesia gases such as Sevoflurane, Isoflurane and Nitrous Oxide. I have kept calm under pressure and dealt with a variety of emergencies from GDV’s, Exlap’s, RTA’s and caesareans. Since qualifying I have expanded my knowledge and began to specialise in exotic species such as reptiles, chelonians and rabbits. I have recently rescued a pair of Green Water Dragons one male and one female they are a very happy pair called Marley and Chubbins. At my last practice I began researching the training of becoming a surgical nurse allowing me to perform minor operations.

Prior to this I was employed at Monkey World Ape Rescue for two years as a primate keeper looking after a variety of different primates and understanding animal welfare and diets whilst working along side the duty veterinary surgeon. This enabled me to assist with operations, medicate and monitor anaesthesia and recovery. I left Monkey world to follow my aspirations into veterinary nursing with the offer of a RVN training qualification, with which I seized the opportunity.

I am located in Southport, QLD and I am available to work anywhere from Southern Gold Coast to Northern Brisbane areas. I have an open license with a reliable car and am willing to travel. I would very much appreciate any position you may have available, and am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Natalia Morozova, Australia-Wide (posted 25th March) Experienced Veterinary Locum Nurse

My name is Natalia Morozova, I am Italo-Russian and I am looking for a Vet Nurse/Technician position.

I have almost 2 years of full time experience in Italy and an Italian Bachelor of Veterinary Science.
I have always worked in small animal clinics. While I was working, I had the opportunity to improve my knowledge in feline medicine in the first year; and during the second in small animal medicine in general.

I have learnt to work independently and under pressure. I can confidently visit patients, take samples, prepare and interpret blood count and biochemical tests, prepare and read blood slides, set up and administer therapies, take, develop and read Rx. In surgery I assisted and conducted small surgeries on my own. I am able to monitor anesthesia, prepare and administer anesthetics.

I am determined and I am willing to learn and improve my knowledge, and therefore I am looking for a nurse position to acquire familiarity with veterinary settings and practices in Australia. I hope to be able to sit the Accreditation Exam at some point in the future.

I arrived in Melborne in December and I am looking for a full time Vet Nurse/Technician position, but a part time, casual or locum will be also considered. I am available to work anywhere in Australia in case I find a good position.

Please contact me at natash@hotmail.it or at 0447586336.
It would be great to hear from you.
