  • May 2022 - Present

  As an Animal Care Assistant at Heartland Animal Hospital, one of my main responsibilities includes assisting veterinarians during examinations. During the examination, I properly restrain the patients for vaccinations, hold off veins for blood draws, or situate the patient for proper viewing by the veterinarian. I also set up the surgery and dental rooms for the veterinarians ensuring that all necessities are in optimal placement of the veterinarian before the procedure starts while maintaining sterile protocols. My other responsibilities include managing patient records, invoicing, scheduling, bringing up patient histories and vaccination status, and more. I have gained plentiful experience using the program Ezyvet to complete these tasks. Other tasks that I may be appointed to include assisting with the following; ultrasounds, x-rays, walking surgery patients, speaking directly with clients regarding appointments, and nurturing in-patients.
