🎧 Vet Nurse Hacker — Ask Me Anything: Vet Nurse Hacker Confessions
Host: Vicky, VTS (Nutrition)
Episode Type: Solo AMA (Ask Me Anything)

🩺 Episode Overview:
In this raw and real AMA-style episode, Victoria answers the juiciest questions she's received from vet nurses across the profession. From clinical confidence to imposter syndrome, burnout to boundaries, and everything in between — this episode is a vulnerable deep-dive into what it really means to be a vet nurse in 2025. If you've ever asked yourself, “Is there more to this career?” — this episode is your sign that yes, there is. So grab a cuppa and let’s unpack the heart, hustle, and hidden truths of vet nursing.

🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
  • The #1 Clinical Skill Every Nurse Should Master (Spoiler: It’s Not Intubation)
  • Why Victoria believes VTS titles are absolutely worth it
  • The hardest case she’s ever worked on — and how it shaped her forever
  • The two things she’d change about how nurses are treated in clinic (utilization + pay!)
  • Real talk about quitting, staying, and questioning your place in the profession
  • How she rebuilt her career after hitting rock bottom
  • The truth about burnout — how sneaky it is, and how you might not even know you're in it
  • Her hot take on resilience training (aka: stop giving us more PowerPoints while we drown)
  • Why rest is a boundary, not a reward
  • Her journey with imposter syndrome as a specialist — and how she pushes through it
  • What a typical day looks like now as a business owner and locum nurse
  • Her advice to any vet nurse thinking about walking away
💡 Key Takeaways:
  • Advocacy is a clinical skill — and your voice matters.
  • You can absolutely step away from vet nursing and come back stronger.
  • Burnout is preventable, but only if we start recognizing it and supporting each other.
  • There is a future for vet nurses who want more — in leadership, business, education, product development, coaching, and beyond.
  • You’re not stuck. You’re expanding. That’s worth celebrating.
