Veterinary Nurse Cert IV
Hi my name is Nikki,
I finished my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing through TAFE SA in 2015 and it has been the best thing I have ever done!
Previously I have experimented with a few different courses trying to see which was the best fit, but I always seemed to come back to a career with animals; that’s when I knew that veterinary nursing was for me.I have volunteered at the Animal Welfare League as a dog trainer and companion worker for the shelter dogs, which I thoroughly enjoyed and gained quite a lot of experience there.
I joined the amazing team here at Findon and Seaton vets in March of 2016 and haven’t looked backed since! I run puppy preschool classes on Tuesday evenings which I throughly enjoy, building on my knowledge of dogs each class. Spending time with puppies is definitely a favourite past time of mine.
When I’m not at work, I have a collection of dogs at home; Gus the Shar Pei, Arnie the Chihuahua x, Teddy the Toy Poodle, Olive the old Chihuahua, and Chewie the Chihuahua, who all definitely keep me quite busy. I love spending time with family and friends, traveling the world and exploring Adelaide in which most cases all dogs join, always keeping me busy.
