I appreciate your time to explain that. In my situation though, my contract actually stipulates I can work for other practices. Vetsnow said they would arrange an induction for me and then, out of the blue, said they couldn't offer me work due to who my current employer is. No-one even asked me if my contract allows it. I was also offering to work in one of your practices that is in most need of RVNs!

(and I'm doing the vetsnow ECC certificate!)

If I was a sensitive soul, I may have taken it a bit personally!

Hi There are some veterinary practices out there that will put a clause in your contract stating that you cannot work in another direct competitor practice whilst working for them which is down to your current employers terms and conditions and if this is the case there is not a lot Vets Now can do about this as we are not stipulating these terms your current employer is so you would have to discuss this with them.

Apparently it also depends on which practice you currently work for! I was told by vetsnow several months ago that I couldn't do this because of who my current employer is.

would very much depend on remuneration, the reason I mention this I did my first shift in @2002 and my last shift in @ 2011 and there was no change in the hourly rate (which wasn't what I found to be particularly generous) - work load however had changed appreciably. Rates are fantastic for vets but the nurses rates never really changed unless they were absolutely desperate and it was very last minute. As this would be a second income a sizeable chunk of whatever you earn is going to go in tax which means you could end up working a night shift (and more hours) for well below what you would earn for a day shift at your regular practice.
