I have just been offered a job at a 24h hospital/referral practice but don&#39;t feel good enough or up to the job. I am used to working in small animal general practiceen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173050?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:54:36 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:234cc2c5-a360-4621-8812-492e0a0ceb22Sal the 1st<p>would there be an option of taking a weeks holiday at your current practice and doing a weeks work trial ?- that way you can see how they work and they can see how you work</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/173049?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Sep 2018 08:20:11 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a236fe4b-118a-4cf9-94d3-d5036c53cb88Alison Clare Hickman<p>Hiya, it&#39;s different being a locum to a permanent staff member in as much a locum is expected to know the ropes because they&#39;ve been hired to fill--in. Up and running from the start.&nbsp; As a permanent staff member, you (should), get invested in, with training, as you&#39;re there for the long haul. I&#39;ve done both and that was my experience.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, say what you can&#39;t, yet, do and say what you need more practice in and get the training and experience you need!&nbsp;</p> <p>Clearly at interview the practice understood what your current level of experience is, so they&#39;re happy to bring you up to speed with their own training.&nbsp;</p> <p>You&#39;ll be fine&nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Very Happy" /></p> <p>Have fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>Ali h</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
