I am leaving my god awful toxic clinic after trying to get out for a year!
I started a year ago. Began to despise it very early on. I was a fresh new grad, I had a part time nursing job before but it was basically animal care assistant work because it was so quiet. This was my first hands on job. Naturally, I had so many questions. I wanted to make sure I was being safe, asking to double check drugs and how to do certain calculations, asking vets to check on patients if I was worried etc etc. it’s better to be safe than sorry in my opinion especially coming from little to no experience.
I began having issues with the main vet I worked with, she’s a very good vet but our personalities clashed. She would always speak to me with an attitude, annoyed when I asked her questions, never spoke to me but was friendly with everyone else. When I was put on single days where she was the only vet and I the only nurse, apparently she wasn’t happy about it. There were two vets in the practice and neither wanted the new grad. Anyways a year of this goes on, I try my best to get to know her and interact. Learn about her hobbies etc and it was like talking to a brick wall. It got very over whelming and she even made me cry twice, one of which she walked in on me and ignored me. I hate that fucking twat and may all bad things come her way.
To make things worse, management knew about it and did nothing. The let her speak to me like trash, didn’t even try to sort out the clash and just let us at it. I hate management.
The other vet who is the owner, expects me to read her mind and be one step ahead of her at all times. I’m sorry but I’m not a mind reader? Get out of here. Be clear with me and tell me what you need. She could be nice but had very little patience when things were not done.
Also, we are understaffed to the heavens. I leaving 5 weeks, there were a few nice people in there but of course there was may many passive aggressive comments each way every day. They are a miserable bunch. Fuck them allllll. I don’t know what my next clinic will be like, but I’m sure as hell CHUFFED I won’t be in that toxic environment. HALLELUJAH
