Theresa's Story
Workplace
I started working at a veterinary clinic almost 7 years ago. I worked my way up slowly beginning in the kennel (walking dogs, cleaning cages, bathing etc.) and now I am at one of the top positions as being the "Head" technician. I supervise other techincians I work with and am responsible for making sure things get done properly. The funny thing is I never even asked for it, it all just kinda fell in my lap so to speak. Moving up little by little from one position to another. Its really helped me become a better person in that listening to people and being receptive to their thoughts and feelings is crucial. I'm not perfect by all means. I haven't got it all down pat but communication is the key to alot of things and its important to share with others. I've grown as an individual and see myself as some better than I used to be. I'm continuing to improve myself everyday because theres always something to learn.

ients on a regular basis, talking to them about the importance of pet care, answering their questions and so forth. Assist the doctor in exam rooms as their looking at the patient. To get more detailed, I draw blood, place iv cathetars, runs tests such as heartworm status, intestinal parasite status, general bloodwork looking at kidney and liver functions, urinalysis results. I assist the doctor in surgery being responsible for preping the patient and getting them ready for the procedure and montiering the patient during and after anesthetia. I, as well as every other member of our hospital, am responsible for patient and client care, well being and excellence. We strive to be better than the other clinic down the street (and believe me there are quite a few) by providing everything we can to better serve our clients.
I'm getting bored now, they really alot so much room for this section and I just don't have anymore to say about work other than its a good job, I get paid a decent amount of money and I'm happy where I am and enjoy what I do. For the most part anyway.
