Greetings budding vetlings! This is my first post in my ‘Getting into Vet School’ series. This first post is about work experience hints and tips which I’m hoping will lend itself to helping you get more out of your placements than just a farmers tan and a faecal facemask (Vet life isn’t always glamorous!)! Before…
So, as promised here’s my second instalment in my ‘Looking Back on 2018’ series. If you’re interested in my thoughts on what happened in 2018 – things that struck a chord from around the world then click here. As I’ve mentioned previously 2018 was a jam-packed year, and one which was filled with both amazing…
This summer I found myself taking a once in a life time trip to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. Now I know what you’re thinking, “Is this girl mad calling a holiday to SUNNY BEACH a once in a life time trip?” Well… The answer is no because for me, it’s entirely accurate! So, I feel some…
As my site ‘Travels of a Baby-vet’ has been up and running for almost a year now!?! And 2017 has flown by spectacularly, I thought this would be a fitting time to write a year roundup! A cheeky Travels of a Baby-vet newsletter, if you will… University life continues….. Well, I guess I should begin….at…
Ever wondered what it’s like being a vet student? Well here’s a sneak peak into life on rotations at one of the UK vets schools! So sit back and have a laugh at our expense! The previous six weeks gave rise to my last ever set of small animal rotations (so technically having now completed…
After the slog of fourth-year exams, the uphill struggle to graduation begins and vet school presents us with yet another challenge, this time in the form of clinical rotations. Rotations are essentially a year and a half of being thrown in at the deep end to practice all the skills, and exercise all the knowledge…
What better way to wind down after a hectic first week getting to grips with rotations than to go and work our brains harder by attending a conference!? The BSAVA conference to be exact! I’ll keep it short and sweet as I am currently meant to be preparing for today’s behaviour seminar not faffing about…
To the more observant reader, you will have noticed that this was almost a year ago. However, as it was a big milestone in my vet school career, I feel it is still worthy of a blog post ( even if it is a little late)! So, to all you non-vets out there, halfway weekend…
No more lectures for fourth years!!….. If we all pass exams that is! At Liverpool vet school the time had come for us all to leave the safety of the lecture theatre and move on to greater (and scarier) things. In the next couple of months, we have our last set of exams to tackle…
have just got back from one of my nerdy ventures where myself and a number of the LUVZS committee attended this year’s BVZS Autumn meeting held at Oxford University’s Pembroke College. BVZS (The British Veterinary Zoological Society for those of you who are not familiar with this organisation) is a rapidly growing society supporting the…
