A very big thank you to all the nurses in the world who give and do so much for all of us to help us along the path of injury and illness, whether it be taken as a patient or someone whose loved one is going through injury and illness. I've always been very touched by the kindness and warmth nurses have given me.
As well as thinking about those who tender to people, I found myself thinking, well is there a day dedicated to veterinary nurses?
Having a rummage online (and it's a very brief rummage at the moment), I discovered that in the UK, May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month. It started as a single day, spread to a week, and now runs over a month.
Veterinary practices and colleges around the UK are promoting the veterinary nursing role through a range of activities, and there's a free pack you can download to raise awareness of the event.
There's also a Facebook page you can visit and like
Plus there's a video from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to give people a better insight into the role of veterinary nurses:
I think veterinary nurses are amazing people - the way you all care for our pets, and owners; you must see so many difficult things, and encounter situations where people are in such emotional pain because of what their pets are going through, and for all those things you do to keep our pets well and help them to better wellbeing, a heartfelt thank you. Sending you all big hugs and love.
