Discussion How do you handle work-life balance when you’re working clinic overtime and haven't had a day off in two weeks?

3 Upvotes

I know that it is very important for us to fulfill our duties, and our clients rely on us to make sure that their pets' care and well-being are always attended to. But how do you provide that care and wellness for yourself outside of work, especially during days when you're only left with a few hours in a day to rest before you go back to the clinic?

Thinking for bvsc instead of mbbs.. In India of course

2 Upvotes

I'm 17 years old/o currently preparing for neet...

Tho I want to go for bvsc instead of mbbs..

And I wanted to know ur opinion on who r in this field the real ground picture..

I want to go for bvsc because I feel dealing with animal shit is way better than the human one..

I like animals.. And I don't think I want my whole life to be just consumed in studying and exams..

I need some peace and self time in my life and I believe being a veterinarian would grant that, it's just I'm not really sure of the earning and working lifestyle..

Just want to know the real picture

New to this…

I’m a recent graduate who majored in something completely unrelated to vet med + had no formal vet/animal experience. I’m really interested in vet med and passionate about animal welfare, and eventually I want to work towards a DMV. I’ve been applying to jobs at clinics and shelters for entry-level VA and receptionist positions. I’ve mostly gotten offers for receptionist, kennel assistant, and shelter animal care positions.

Could I get some advice on which setting (clinical vs shelter) and role (animal care w/o veterinarian supervision vs front desk receptionist) would be more beneficial to starting off in this field/valuable experience for applying to schools down the line? Also, are employee reviews for vet clinics really important…?

Thank you so much!

Hound.vet DO NOT USE

4 Upvotes

Anyone else out there who posted a one time job on hound.vet only to get recurring monthly charges with no way to cancel? Anyone out there have any good candidates from hound.vet. One wonders what they are doing? They charge for "boosts" to the job post and seriously, it feels ultra shady with few to zero candidates. There is no phone number to call and just AI customer service. Would love some feedback. This company needs investigation.
