3. What is the most complicated thing you’ve learnt through your LTI?

It's all really complex but I would say the lab is my biggest obstacle. There’s so many little things and if you don't spin this for the certain amount of time you can make a mistake. It's easy to make a mistake because theres so many steps, however you get used to it and get quicker with it. It's always fun. Something I’m still learning is the dry urine slides for the microscope. I can do the wet slides easily, but the dry slides are much more complicated so I am still learning.

4. How will you continue your education of veterinary medicine once leaving school?

Due to me finishing my Certificate II animal care at Glendale TAFE which means I’m now qualified to do a Certificate IV Veterinary Course at Curry Curry, which takes about a year and a half. After that I’ll hopefully get a job as a veterinary nurse. I’m hoping Lake Veterinary Hospital Belmont will take me under their wing. If not, I now have practical experience that I can use to work in other places.

5. What has been the most difficult part of your internship?

I want to say the beginning. The first step to get out there, the first day when you don't know anything it's very nerve racking. But you keep going and gain confidence, you learn stuff and you realize that you’re helpful and you enjoy being there. I wake up now and say “Yay! LTI day” instead of worrying.

6. What is your favorite part of the internship?

The animals! I love the animals they're so cute. But also knowing that what you're doing is helping them. Sometimes it’s a bit of tough love but you know it'll be worth it in the end.

7. Anything else you’d like to add?

I’d like to give a big thank you to the Lake Veterinary Hospital Belmont

for taking me in and dealing with me. Love you guys xoxo gossip girl 💛
