Personal note: I have been working in a veterinary emergency hospital since 2012 at Solano-Napa Pet Emergency Clinic in Fairfield. I started off as a part time relief veterinary technician and moved on to a shift coordinator to supervise the all the staff within the shift. I have also worked at different positions as , room nurse, treatment nurse and graveyard nurse. Throughout two years of veterinary school, I have not changed my thought about working in veterinary emergency field and am actively looking for opportunity to be part of a team within an emergency hospital. Two years ago, I began working at a specialty hospital, in Concord, CA that could potentially lead me into specializing in emergency field.
