How do you avoid getting stale in practice?

Hello all.

i’m just about to start my second year of student nurse training, but I’m already thinking about the future, and the biggest thing on my mind is the question of staying engaged. I’ve been doing nurse consultations for a while now, and the repetition can be quite tedious - nail clip, post-op, health check, health check, repeat… The kennels and operations side is a bit more varied, but I can sense that the turnover of spay, castrate, dental, spay, castrate, dental, mass removal might also get quite stale.

i hate the idea of getting complacent or disengaged from my work, and I’m determined to keep learning and trying to advance my skills and knowledge, but I’m wondering if anyone can suggest other strategies for staying fresh when it all starts to feel a bit samey?
