Veterinary nursing
Well, it's been a couple of weeks since my last entry, but since it seems like no one is reading this Blog yet, there doesn't seem to be much point in posting that frequently.
I suppose I should say something else about myself now, since the first 2 posts have only told you a bit about me.
I'm doing a veterinary nursing course at TAFE (a type of college for anyone who's overseas and might read this!)
I'm almost in the middle of my 2nd and final year, so fingers crossed by the end of this year I'll be a fully qualified vet nurse!!
I do at times wonder though, if doing this course, choosing it as a career, was such a good idea, particularly with my CFS, which is so unpredictable that I never know how I'm going to feel from one hour to the next, let alone one day or week to the next.
Which makes not only doing my course hard, but also trying to find a job or some volunteer work as a vet nurse, which happens to be a very crucial part of the course!!! Add to that fact the point that virtually no vet hospitals/clinics will take on volunteers anymore, due to the insurance and time it takes having someone to be training/supervising.
And most jobs that are out there in the vet nurse employment world are either for experienced nurses, or people in training who will work full time (read:every single hour they need a nurse for!) AND have a driver's licence and preferably their own car.
But if I don't get some kind of work before the end of this year, and get my skills folder filled out, I won't be allowed to complete the course and get my certificate. And if I don't get my certificate, then I have to start doing the new course, and spend up to another 2 years getting qualified......although now that I think about it, it may not be THAT bad an idea.....I finish through to the end of this year, but start next year with the new course, and just skip through what I've already done, and have plenty of time to get work and experience.....
Hmm, something to talk to some people about.
Better go.....have a ton of assignments to do for Tafe!!!
"It's a little too late for you to say,oo-woo, that I'm a little too young to feel this way
Cause I just wanna be loved, just wanna be heard, be lost in the feeling standing here at the door to my life, now the day has arrived
So loud and clear you'll hear me singing
Do do do doo do do do doo
You'll hear me singing
Do do do do doo do do do"
