I really do believe we are under used and under valued in a veterinary practice. I was a deputy head nurse for a large group in one of the main branches and found i got to the stage that developent for me within a veterinary clinic was limited.At this point i had also become assessor and was training student veterinary nurses..i also think that all im doing in my veterinary nurse clinic is no more than i would in a vet clinic.I will be providing that extra care in preventative health care and advising on general health.If ever i pick up anything in my consults that need veterinary treatment or consultation i have a vet that is located down the road literally..for referals.
i really hope we can fight to get our status more recognised by the RCVS and the public eye!!
The clinic is picking up slowly..you have bad days and good days just like any new business or infact an existing business may have.
i believe it will take time to build upon the public mentally and educate owners on preventative health care,but im sure i can achieve this all in good time.
The public are responding to it well,however you do have to explain what i am all about,but once they know they think its a great idea!!
well majority of the services i offer are all the nurse clinics that practices run anyway and alot more external services ie:pet sitting,pet taxi,deliveries etc.
I think this is a great idea 50.00%
It is potentially a good idea - but I see problems 25.00%
I believe it is a ridiculous idea 0.00%
Time will tell - lets see how successful it is 25.00%
I have answered in the forums 0.00%
What is your average clinic appointment ATV? and how many of these do you need to do a day to break even?
I love the idea but can't get the figures to stack up finacially as obviously as VN's we can't sell/do a lot of what the vet does in our clinics and most he items we do sell don't have the same profit margin.
To be honest the appointments need buildng upon and the clinic is working on doing that..however majority off your break even figures will come from other services you can provide and by having a shop...
hope everyone is well..last month definately has picked up..but the weather doesnt help!!
