I would greatly appreciate a bit of advice regarding training a new staff member, our kennel hand is to be taken on as a trainee nurse and to start a Cert 2 in animal care (I&#39;m in Australia) I am currently and have been since I arriveden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/168680?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 27 May 2017 13:10:27 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9c9f5307-af4d-49bd-b319-523cb3338cbdPJ Zurawel<p>Agree with the above, starting them on reception to learn the basics of how the practice runs and the protocols&nbsp;and then moving them out the back to learn basic handling. Start small and build up from there. Could you talk to the student as well?? Some students learn quicker than others but some get quite overwhelmed if moved too fast so maybe see if you can find out what their learning style is??</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/168649?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 24 May 2017 13:36:39 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:47166f7a-9631-4b6f-a003-72904498a008bumble bee<p>Start with basic practice protocols.when you neuter/starvation policies etc A good place to start is on reception as they learn alot about worming etc.Then move on to kennels,basic handling &amp; basic nutrition.General prep room duties,washing instruments,cleaning tables,restraining for bloods/ivft &amp; other procedures. I created a practice&quot;bible&quot; with alot of info that students can go to if they forget any practice protocols.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
