Lee Adams, Northern Melbourne & surrounds, VIC (posted 11th March) Qualified Vet Nurse

Qualified Veterinary Nurse seeking employment

My name is Lee Adams, and I am a qualified veterinary nurse who has recently completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. I have experience working in fast-paced, busy general practices as a surgical nurse, consult nurse and receptionist.

I am an organised and punctual person by nature, and I have an open-minded attitude and a willingness to learn when on the job. Working in fast-paced clinics has given me the ability to work effectively and efficiently under high-stress situations, and I am able to diffuse tense or stressful circumstances between both colleagues and clients.

I have been working in general practice clinics for the last three years, and am looking for a new clinic to hopefully stay for a long time! Ideally I am looking for somewhere easily accessible by public transport in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, but for the right clinic I am willing to travel.

If you believe I would be a good fit for your clinic, I’d love to hear from you!

Kind regards,
Lee Adams

Amanda Sykes, Northern Suburbs Brisbane / Rosewood, QLD (posted 25th February) Trainee Cert IV VN

(Completing Cert IV) - 8 years experience
Looking for Locum, Part Time or Casual Vet Nurse role.
Also considering a Permanent Part Time or hybrid Nurse Manager or Practice Manager role.

Hello! I am a mature and dedicated veterinary nurse currently looking for new opportunities within veterinary clinics in the northern suburbs of North Brisbane or near Rosewood.

My journey has been an interesting one, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted my ability to complete my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing as my college lost its certification. However, I am currently completing my studies through AIRC and am eagerly awaiting my RPL training plan.

With extensive experience gained from working in a high-volume community clinic, multiple general practice clinics, emergency veterinary services, and a natural alternative clinic, I have developed a well-rounded skill set. My exposure includes various surgical procedures such as BOAS surgeries, general surgery, emergency cases, and cesarean sections. I also have a passion for neonatal care, which I find particularly rewarding.

I pride myself on being reliable, honest, and adaptable. I enjoy working with behavioral cases and have a proven track record of building positive connections with clients, especially those with fearful or anxious pets.

My previous career as a project manager equips me with excellent organizational skills; I hold a Certificate IV in Project Management and take pleasure in writing processes and procedures that enhance clinic efficiency.

Currently, I manage 170 volunteers and an administrative team for an animal rescue group that I founded seven years ago, which has provided me with significant leadership and management experience.

In addition to my veterinary skills, I am proficient with Ezyvet and BeFree software and have familiarity with Rx Works and various radiography systems.

With seven cats of my own, I have a deep understanding of various breeds, behaviors, and the distinct challenges and joys they bring, which has further cemented my commitment to animal welfare and behavior.

My approach to veterinary nursing is characterized by positivity, confidence, and a strong desire to share knowledge. I am passionate about mentoring junior staff and fostering an encouraging team environment.

I am on the lookout for that "unicorn clinic" — a place where I can truly call home and contribute my skills and passion. If you believe your clinic embodies this vision, I would love to hear from you!
Thank you for considering my application!

Thanks for reading!
