"So you're basically a vet, right?" 🤦
Sound familiar? This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we're celebrating the vet nurses who've heard this a thousand times — and showing the world what they really do. Spoiler: it's a lot. 💙
Veterinary nurses are still one of the most underrecognised professions in animal healthcare. They're not assistants. They're not "almost vets." They are qualified, registered professionals who are essential to the care and welfare of every patient that walks through the practice door.
May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, and it exists for exactly this reason — to champion the RVNs and student nurses who give so much to this profession. This month, we’re sharing stories from our own MWI team members who have previously worked in practice. Real moments from practice life and everything that happens behind the scenes.
This month is a chance for all of us in the profession to champion the recognition that vet nurses have earned — not just within our practices, but in the eyes of the public too.
If you're a vet nurse — we see you. If you work alongside one — make sure everyone else does too. 💙
