 I run a small animal house call practice and, it may be the nature of the beast, but I have really struggled to recruit good nursing staff for a part time, but demanding, post over the last 2 years. 
 I have 2 excellent RVNs who do a day a</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: RVN recruitment</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/162591?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:39:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:1b818235-8d7e-47b7-8dc0-e0b454669c7c</guid><dc:creator>Tally </dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;may i ask how your business works? how you manage patients that would need to be hospitalised/ surgeries etc?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It sounds quite fascinating!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But i do agree that there is a major shortage of RVN&amp;#39;s as i know of several vacancies that have been open for months. I also agree with what has been said, good salaries do attract people, but sadly, not always good people! :(&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RVN recruitment</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/162579?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2015 09:56:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:5bf0aadf-8a80-42e3-bf03-775fe7eb54ed</guid><dc:creator>ereveley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There does appear to be a &amp;#39;lack of nurses&amp;#39; in the Devon area at the moment. I know of other practices that have advertised positions and only had a couple of applicants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RVN recruitment</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/162477?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2015 17:42:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:5c9e8109-abdc-403f-adb7-a2673f3751af</guid><dc:creator>enigmaticat-uk</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I might be doing you a dis-service but after reading your post my first&amp;nbsp;impression was &amp;quot;you get what you pay for&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;you pay peanuts, you get monkeys&amp;quot;. I tend to find that practices struggle to fill posts because they want the best nursing staff at the lowest possible cost&amp;nbsp; - there are plenty of posts from nurses on this forum which raise this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, that said, I have absolutely no knowledge of what renumeration/rewards you are offering - they might be very generous, and what part of the country you are based will affect this also, but my suggestion would be to review what you are offering&amp;nbsp;as good staff are good for business and worth paying well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would also regularly place adverts on the job page here as lots of nurses use this&amp;nbsp;website and it&amp;#39;s free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this doesn&amp;#39;t sound arsey - it&amp;#39;s not intended to be!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RVN recruitment</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/162473?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:24:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:be37575f-ef0d-4b71-b6c2-e1e436139d66</guid><dc:creator>Sal the 1st</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m the opposite - wanted full time but had to settle for part time&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: RVN recruitment</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/162472?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:16:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:51fefc96-9296-43b4-b2aa-831761970a5f</guid><dc:creator>Tracy Windler RVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I wish I could find a position like this in my area. I would jump at the chance. Have you advertised on this site? I am always hearing of nurses struggling to find part time hours, so it surprises me that you have not had much success. Good luck!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nb I do not wish to be contacted by any agencies about finding work, thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
