Send us a textEver wondered what makes a veterinary practice truly special? It's not just about the facilities or location—it's about creating a culture where every team member feels valued, supported, and empowered to use their full range of skills.In this chat with Bridget Swart, head veterinary nurse at Vets on Carlton in Whanganui, we talk about the daily rhythms of a clinic that's earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from its own employees. Bridget shares her journey as a "transplant" to this seaside community, where she's found not just professional fulfilment but a perfect setting for raising her young family.What becomes immediately apparent is how this clinic approaches teamwork. From organised morning rounds to the mutual support team members offer one another during challenging days, there's an genuine camaraderie that can't be manufactured. Perhaps most significantly, veterinarians at the practice fully utilise their nurses' skills—from administering pre-meds to intubating patients, placing catheters, and conducting x-rays. This approach not only increases job satisfaction for nursing staff but creates a more efficient workplace where everyone can focus on what they do best.For veterinary professionals considering their next move, Whanganui offers a compelling alternative to big-city practice. As Bridget puts it, the "slower pace" and family-friendly amenities create the perfect work-life balance, while the clinic's commitment to continuing education ensures career development doesn't stagnate. Whether you're a veterinarian looking for your next position or simply curious about what makes a veterinary workplace thrive, this episode provides valuable insights into creating a sustainable and fulfilling veterinary career.If you're ready to discover if Vets on Carlton might be your perfect next move you owe it to yourself to check them out!

In episode 71 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're following on from last week's feline focus and taking a look at lower airway diseases in our canine counterparts. We might not see them as often, and they might appear more stable - well, most of the time - but these cases are anything but boring, requiring lots of nursing care, both in the clinic and long-term. Just like our asthmatic cats, it's good quality nursing that makes all the difference, and to give that great care, we need to understand the lower airway diseases we see, and the impact they have on our patients - which is exactly what we're covering in this episode. --- More free ways to learn with me:

In episode 70, we're talking about some of the most difficult patients we see - dyspnoeic cats. Yep, there's nothing like that dyspnoeic cat emergency - they arrive SO stressed, and it feels almost counterintuitive that staying AWAY from them is actually the thing that helps them most in those early stages. The majority of dyspnoeic cats we see have feline asthma - a form of lower airway disease. This disease is pretty misunderstood and is far more complex than ‘just' being asthma, so in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're looking at exactly what it is and how to manage these patients confidently and calmly from start to finish. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

In episode 67 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking all about a very common, very frustrating, and in my opinion a very under-appreciated condition - chronic rhinitis.

There's quite a bit we can do to support these patients long term, and to do that well, we first need to understand what chronic rhinitis is, how it affects our patients, and how we treat it, which is exactly what you'll find in this episode.

In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking about a really common, commonly misunderstood and often frustrating disease - feline respiratory disease complex, aka FRDC or cat ‘flu. When I think about those ‘flu cases, I think back to sweating in PPE in a makeshift isolation room in my earlier nursing days, spending countless hours cleaning nasal discharge, creating steam baths outside of kennel doors, and tempting tiny kittens to eat. This is a disease that is MADE for nursing - there is so much we can do to support these patients. And as always, giving that great care starts with understanding what ‘flu is, and how we manage it - which is exactly what's waiting for you inside this episode. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

If you've ever seen an older Labrador struggling to breathe, a Retriever making that distinctive “roaring” noise, or an older dog with noisy breathing and vocal changes, there's a good chance you've encountered laryngeal paralysis. This disease - as the name suggests - affects the larynx, preventing it from opening properly and restricting airflow. In mild cases, it causes noisy breathing and exercise intolerance, but in severe cases, it leads to life-threatening respiratory obstruction. But what else do we need to know about laryngeal paralysis? How can we stabilise these patients in an emergency, treat them effectively, and provide that all-important nursing care? That's exactly what we're covering in episode 64 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

We know that respiratory patients are often very challenging. They tend to be really stressed, and teetering on a knife-edge, balancing their increased demand for oxygen with a disease impacting their oxygenation.

In today's episode - the first in a brand new series all about respiratory disease - we'll be laying the foundations, taking a brief journey back to A&P and all of the need-to-know information about the respiratory system. Because when we understand how it's supposed to work, we can better understand what to do when it goes wrong. ---
