what's the day in a life of a veterinarian
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm currently exploring a potential career in veterinary medicine and would love to learn more about what a typical day really looks like for a practicing veterinarian. I’m especially interested in hearing from professionals working in general practice, emergency care, or even specialty fields. If you're a veterinarian (or know one who might be open to chatting), I’d be so grateful for the chance to ask a few questions. Some of the things I’m curious about: * What does a typical day or week look like for you? * What are the most rewarding and most challenging parts of your job? * What skills or traits do you think are essential in your field? * How did you get started, and is there anything you wish you'd known earlier? * Do you have any advice for someone considering this path? Whether you're early in your career or have years of experience, your insight would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance for considering, and feel free to comment or message me directly! Warmly, Lorena

Will being an Emergency Medical Technician scar me for life?
I am currently enrolled in an EMT certification course offered at my school, and, though I am very very excited about it, I am also quite terrified at the possible situations I might encounter on a call. Do EMTs frequently feel burned out and emotionally drained? Also, is it possible for an EMT basic to work as an Emergency Room Technician in the ER? Thanks! #doctor #physician #emt #ambulance #emergency #emergencymedicaltechnician
How long after orientation will I start work?
I went to orientation on May 22nd for the local amusement park. It wasn't a one on one training. We went over the rules for 2 hours and then tried on our uniforms. After I showed my HR person that my uniform fit she said I could go home. It is now May 28th and she hasn't called. I still have my uniform and ID badge but haven't started work or any kind of other training at all! The HR told me that it was required to go to a 7 day probation orientation period were if we miss a day then we get fired. She never told me when I had to be back, no dates or times, not even a "see you tomorrow." I am really getting worried now! What should I do? I was on will call before if that helps. #human-resources #manager #hiring #employers #teenagers #emergency
