Nicola Smith, Gold Coast Region, QLD (posted 23th September) Entry Level Vet Nurse

I am writing to express my strong interest in a Veterinary Nurse position. I recently completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and am eager to begin my career in a field I am deeply passionate about. Can start almost immediately. While I may be new to the industry, I believe my commitment, maturity, and enthusiasm offer real value.

Throughout my studies, I embraced every opportunity to learn, and my placement experience was a particular highlight. I was fortunate to be mentored by an exceptional team, who supported me in developing strong clinical and practical skills. As a result, I feel I gained above-average hands-on experience compared to many of my peers.

I understand that working in a veterinary practice requires more than technical ability—it demands compassion, communication, and the ability to remain calm and efficient in fast-paced environments. I pride myself on being organised, proactive, and a reliable team player who always puts animal welfare first.

I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and contribute to a clinic that values high standards of care. I hope to be given the chance to prove myself and grow into a valuable member of your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my enthusiasm, dedication, and training can support your clinic’s work.
