Locum vet nurse Tracy holding her cat in her arms

I always loved working nightshifts and genuinely enjoy working them at Vets Now! For me, working the dark hour brings more interesting cases and a far wider scope of responsibility throughout each shift as a nurse.

I worked as a vet nurse in the Middle East for five years where emergency and critical care nursing came in high volumes, now I am back home working for Vets Now it has been the perfect fit for me and it is keeping my veterinary nurse life exciting! Being locum also means I have the freedom to take a trip to the mainland UK to work for different Vets Now hospitals if and when I fancy a mini adventure!
