I started working in the equine ICU in March of 2011. I got the job through contacts I knew in the department. I had participated in foal team which gave me a chance to get experience and help the equine ICU staff at the same time. I also completed 2 internships through the Vet Aide Club in both equine medicine and equine ICU.
What do I do all day in the equine ICU?
Observe and monitor patient vital signs. Administer medications (oral, IV, IM). Carry out clinician's orders. Work with students and clinicians on patient care and management. Maintain sanitation protocols. Document treatments and keep track of bowl movements, feed intake and urination.
What do I like best about my job?
Working with horses, I love helping make them better. Being a student and getting paid to be on call is also very nice. From the UC Davis LA Clinic Facebook Group |
