My workplace host’s name is Dr. Steven Walz. He is a veterinarian at Westside Veterinary Clinic, Which I job shadowed on April 28th, 2017. He helps animals heal, checks on their health, grooms, and keeps animals. Dr. Walz has to make sure all the animals have functioning organs and body parts. There were many different things that I had learned during the time i was at the vet. I was interested in many things, and uninterested in other things. I was interested in the way Dr. Walz had examined and worked with the animals. They way he had worked with the animals had intrigued me because the way we help animals is similar to how we help humans. I did not find many things boring, but I found a few boring aspects of the job. When there was nothing going on, it was kind of boring because there was nothing to do. Watching the doctor fill out the paperwork and create the labels for the medications were both boring to me. I was surprised about how the doctors could easily give animals shots, anesthesia, and work with them. Some of the veterinarians were able to groom a dog without them running away. There are many things that we need to know to be a successful veterinarian. To be successful in this workforce, you have to be able to work math problems easily, be able to read graphs, have good communication skills, and make sure you …show more content…
I think I would keep this as a backup because I’m still interested in being a nurse more than being a veterinarian. This was a valuable experience because I realized how similar veterinary service is to nursing, and how if I didn’t succeed at nursing, I could have this as a backup. All in all, this job experience was not all that bad. Some wise words from Dr. Steven Walz, “If interested in veterinary service, study early, keep your grades up, and just do well in school, because you can do anything you
I chose the career of a Vet Technician. This job is often confused with the veterinarian or veterinary technologist. These two fields are totally different than a vet technician. Veterinarian required eight years of schooling, where the Veterinary technologist requires a bachelor degree in applied science. The job of an veterinary technician is to provide nursing care and assist surgeries for animals. Think of it as a human nurse, and a doctor, the vet tech assist the veterinarian in diagnosing illness and injuries. Some other jobs a veterinary technician might have would be preparing an animal for a surgery like a scrub with germicidal soap, sterilizing the surgical utensils, setting up a room

UW Fond Du Lac, I feel, is the best school for me. I want to go into animal services which enables me to help the one thing that I have loved all my life. Being in this profession I will be able to continue doing what I love and that's protecting those animals who don't have a voice or get the chance to live a life full of love and happiness.
The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, American College of Poultry Veterinarians, the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, and the American College of Zoological Medicine are all able to certify veterinarians. However, certification is not required, unlike licensing. Licensing, including the D.V.M., can be obtained from the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE), which is organized by the National Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. Every state varies in their ruling towards a person applying to take the NAVLE. Many states have additional requirements for veterinarian licensing whether it is for an exotic or companion veterinarian.
The outlook of this job is predicted to grow substantially over the next years. “Employment of veterinarians is projected to grow 9 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. Veterinarians will continue to be needed to diagnose and treat animals.” (Veterinarians; Career, Salary, and education information). The reason for veterinarians being in such a need in the future is because like there will always be people, those people will always have pets. Those pets will also always need someone to take care of them, just like all people will always need doctors. Veterinarians, in general, will always be needed but, different areas of the veterinary field will be needed differently in the future. For example, food and animal veterinarians (a type of Large Animal Veterinarian) will be especially in need in the future because as the population of the planet is always increasing, those people will always need food which requires a veterinarian to administer healthcare to those food-producing animals. Also, because colleges not only train vets in the study of treating animals they also train vets in fields such as public health, disease control, corporate sales, and population studies therefore if they do not have any interest in the more common fields they will almost certainly be able to find a decent job in another. Even though the veterinary field is on a steady incline for
One anxiety disorder that contains trauma related thoughts, negative moods, and alterations in arousal such as anger or hypervigilance is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This disorder has been classified to have high rates of depression and substances abuse. According to Glintborg and Hansen (2017), Adults experiencing PTSD are one of the most difficult populations to treat and have up to a 50 percent chance of dropping out of treatment. However, a new therapeutic approach researchers are now exploring is animal treatment. Professionals are establishing goal-directed therapeutic intervention for this population with Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). When being exposed to an animal, studies have shown positive effects in an individual’s
I picked this career because I’ve always had an interest in it. I am not financially set up to become a veterinary in livestock sadly. It will always be an option to me but for now, I have settled to become a Registered Nurse (RN). I would go to become a CNA, LPN, RN, and then possibly become a NP. Either way I’m still helping the sick. Whether it be animal or human. I enjoy helping those in need.
Juggling life is definitely a chore at times. However, in the end, the choices made, lessons learned, and the hard times make the good times all the better. In April of 2015, I interviewed for a job at a local veterinary clinic. After receiving a call from the manager, I bloomed with enthusiasm because she offered the position to me, One month later, I started at the Animal Medical Center of Dubois County in Jasper, Indiana. Adding this job into my already busy schedule was challenging, yet I knew it would help me with future opportunities. However, it was not until I made a mistake that I learned time management would work in favor for me.
One day I hope to be a large animal veterinarian, and work with cattle, bulls, alpaca, llama, horse, bison, etc. My dream is to become a large animal veterinarian, and hopefully I can achieve my dream someday. If I eventually achieve my dream I would be able to work with many animals.
The day I got my dog Doc was a hot sunny summer day. I had been waning for many years to get my dog Doc. The moment my dog came in I was so happy and almost jumped on him. It was the best day of my life. My parents got him from a breeder in Pennsylvania. I remembered when I had visited him to see if he was a good match and I knew he was but, my parents did not think he was good because he was the runt of the litter. Now that he was at our house myself and my family knew he was right for us.
