Vet Clinic Employer of Choice: VetsOne - Hawke's Bay NZ - Vet Nurse Dana | ep.1011

Dana relocated 1300 kilometres from Central Otago to Hawke's Bay specifically for this veterinary nursing position at VetsOne. 

In this episode:

• Why she moved 800+ miles for a nursing role—and what it took to build a new life knowing only 3-4 people
• Corporate vs. privately owned clinics: "You feel more like a family member rather than just a number"
• Weekly role rotations that pair nurses with different vets daily—creating variety for everyone
• The Lincoln programme: Learning to navigate difficult conversations at work and home
• What kind of person fits: "Someone that can banter with us, wants to be social, and wants to be a part of the team"

Worth listening for:

"The whole team has ideas we bring to management and the directors. They're quite open to ideas and suggestions. It's just really nice that we feel heard and seen."

On leaving corporate for private: "I feel a lot more seen and valued rather than just a number, which is how I felt in the past. I feel a lot more valued because we're a smaller knit group."

If you've ever wondered whether relocating for the right veterinary role is worth it—or what privately owned actually feels like compared to corporate—Dana's story will answer those questions.
