https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/28651/none-qualified-experience-staff Hi, Just needing a bit of advice. I work for a single vet, single nurse practice. I&#39;ve been qualified since May 2014 but in practice for 8 years. I&#39;ve been at my current practice for almost 2 months and although it can get busy, I&#39;m usually okay keepingen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160705?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 20 Jul 2015 17:46:00 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8cadbdf3-6095-4eff-b219-240718073bcaenigmaticat-uk<p>That&#39;s great that your boss&nbsp;has hired some help for you - she&#39;s very lucky to get a job in a vet surgery with no experience. I would say give her the benefit of the doubt and start with the basics. Teach her how to clean properly&nbsp; &amp; about the disinfectants you use and why. Teach her appropriate ways to approach &amp; handle animals, how to read body language. Teach her about husbandry/feeding etc. If she is keen and shows promise and learns well then great. If she is&nbsp;unco-operative and thinks she should be doing more than cleaning then tell your boss - she presumably has a probation period in her contract.</p> <p>Once she has picked up the basics and shows willing then expand things further - I would avoid having an unqualified person in theatre, monitoring anaesthetics, messing with I/v&#39;s. But if she&#39;s eventually going to train as a VN the more you can teach her the better - both for her and for you.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
