Home Up Nurses Vets Interns VisitorsHome

 

 

Every year we are inundated with visitors. Some are students and many are either foreign students or veterinarians.

Its even hard to keep up with their names but fortunately Libby our practice manager keeps a log so later we can review them. Each year one seems to call back and say that they would like to do an internship.

 

Here at left is a group of foreign veterinary students.

From the left: 

Rasmus Jensen (Denmark), Annette Roug (Denmark),
Ernie Martinez (Oklahoma, USA),  Kim Grueber (Purdue, USA), Heidi Maentausta (Finland).


A good example of a group that came together at the GVEH for varying times during the breeding season. Obviously if you want to come and visit you need to book (e mail us).

 

Immediate past nurses:

Krystle Mills came to us on work experience and we asked her to stay. Krystle is a great advertisement for Wangaratta school of Tafe. She is smart, dedicated and lots of fun to be around. Krystle has recently been in Ireland as winner of the scholarship to the Irish National Stud course. She started in February and returned to us for the last two breeding seasons. Krystle excels and foal critical care and has a serious interest in neonatal care. Krystle has just left again and this time she has gone to Rob Franklin's practice in Florida to train and see some of the world. We have left her on the site for the time being as we hope she will be back with for the next foaling season.

Sherrie Roberston is our youngest veterinary nurse who right now probably wonders if she has made the right choice for her career. You can see by her smile that she hasn't worked more than one  breeding season yet. Sherrie goes about her everyday work with the same smile and good attitude that make her fun to work with. Keep it up Sherrie.

 

Honie Tuena: Honie grew up in Shepparton and attended horse studies at Charles Sturt at Wagga Wagga. We are working her as hard as we can while she continues with her distance education. She is a great veterinary nurse that works hard and haves fun while keeping us in line and gets on with the serious business of keeping the surgery going.

 

Cathryn Cosson came to us from Glenrowan and everyday we think how lucky we are to have her with our team. She is efficient, hard working, honest and full of that youthful enthusiasm that we all so much to have. Catherine's main interests outside the hospital are mostly unknown to this web master but we will find out, so keep watching this space. Cathryn graduated from Wangaratta Tafe course and is an excellent example of how well these course can prepare an aspiring person for a career with horses. Currently Cathyrn is travelling around Australia and we hope she comes back to work for us soon.
