And then the social worker at vet school tells you she can‘t help with your compassion fatigue because she‘s there for the pet owners, then the heads of several rotations tell you that you can‘t leave campus for therapy without getting an automatic B, then you burn out on private practice after 4 years and spend time overthinking decisions you made years ago. 😭😭😭😭😭 Every time I get something wanting a donation from vet school, I tear that up!
Megabooks Sorry about this. I‘ve needed to say it for awhile. It was just so frustrating. #offonatangent 5y
rretzler Sounds very frustrating - it seems like vet school would try to prepare their students better. And job burnout is awful too. Sorry that you had to go through that. 5y
Megabooks @rretzler Thank you. 💙💙 I think it varies a lot school-to-school. It was disappointing that my school was a pioneer in vet social work, but they didn‘t seem to care about their students. 💔 5y

Megabooks @cobwebmoth Thank you 💕💕 5y
BookNAround And people wonder why vets have such a high rate of suicide. My sister‘s lost several classmates to suicide in the 20 or so years since she graduated. 5y
Megabooks @BookNAround I‘m so sorry. 💔 It‘s a huge problem in the profession. I‘ve been out for 7 years and lost two. 5y
Weaponxgirl I had no idea, I‘m sorry you had to deal with this ❤️ 5y

kspenmoll I have never know someone going through Vet school. So sad. Cannot believe that school has help for animals etc but not students. Hugs. 🤗 5y
Megabooks @kspenmoll Yes, I knew I had to do some private practice before going into industry. It was just really hard. But I persevered! Thank you for the hugs. 🥰💜 5y
