Veterinary Emergency Nurse

A Veterinary Emergency Nurse assists with the treatment of animals in emergency situations such as an accident or a life threatening medical condition. You might help veterinarians with surgical procedures or monitor animals during their treatment. You may have to prepare veterinary equipment or medicine or get animals ready for surgery. Veterinary Emergency Nurses will usually treat domestic pets but you might also work with native wildlife or wild animals in captivity.

Veterinary Emergency Nurses need to be flexible and may have to work after hours shifts. You’ll need to enjoy working with animals and be passionate about their care. Animals in emergency situations can be distressed or aggressive so you’ll need to be good at handling challenging animal behaviours. You’ll need to be able to follow directions and communicate with your team and with animal owners.
