veterinary recruitment

Today’s show is especially helpful for existing locums of any kind:  veterinarians, nurses and vet techs as well as the clinics that hire them.  

If you’re a locum, you’ll seriously want to listen to today’s show because it could save you a whole bunch of financial grief and headaches.

If you’re listening from Australia – or when the borders open up you’ll be heading off and working in Australia – then this is for you as well.

This app takes away all the financial compliance headaches.   You know the sort I’m talking about - – making sure you’ve put enough money aside to cover your tax, ACC, expenses, invoicing, getting paid, raising invoices, paying yourself.

In this episode Julie South and James Fuller chat about: 

• do you need to have a limited liability company?
• are you paying (or setting aside) too much money for your tax?
• how do you know how much tax to pay?
• what if you're "known" to the IRD or ATO?
• do you need to protect yourself with a trust?

At the beginning of this year, I had the opportunity of catching up with a VetStaff locum for lunch.  

We solved all the problems currently facing the veterinary sector and the world.

Over lunch, Dr Sam shared a book she’d read called Compassionomics – a book designed to answer a few questions – one of which was “does taking time for compassion make doctors better at their job?”

I’m a Kindle woman, so I bought the Kindle version.  It’s also available in paperback and Audible versions.    I’ll include all links to where you can buy the book, if you’re interested, on the show notes page for episode 17 at PawsClawsWetNoses.fm.

The full, official, title is “Compassionomics:  the revolutionary scientific evidence that caring makes a difference.”

I like meaty books and at 375 pages, this sure gave me something to get my teeth into.  The book was published in 2018 by Fire Starter Publishing.  

Apart from the fact Dr Sam said it was a good book, I bought it because I wondered whether there might be any crossover from human health care to animal health care.  

While I was reading, there was always a little part of my brain wondering just how much could be transferred to the animal health care sector.  I’m sure that plenty could – just in a different way.

Some musings I had, for example, were:

• Could veterinarians, for example, positively impact the health outcome of sentient animals through compassion?  
• What difference would the expression of compassion to the patient’s owner make to the health outcome of the patient?   
• If the client felt more compassion towards them, would they be less aggressive towards the veterinarian?   
• Would animal doctors hear fewer emotional blackmail and accusations about not caring otherwise they’d work for free?

Revive Your Drive - daily 2-minute videos for employers and employees to revive their drives at work and at home.

This week we look at some of the mental stresses that your favourite veterinary professionals are under so you can get a better understanding of what it’s like to walk a few kms in their shoes.

This episode touches on some painful issues - like suicide.

[You don’t have to listen to those facts if you don’t want to.  I’ll let you know before we get to those so you can stop listening at that point.]

We'll compare the cost of human medicine vs animal medicine.

You'll understand - hopefully - why all those veterinary tests are essential to animal care & welfare.

In this episode we'll talk about how stressful and hurtful it must be to hear day-in & day-out that veterinary professionals don’t care enough because they won’t work for free.

Compassion fatigue in veterinary medicine is a result of veterinary clinicians – doctors and nurses - taking on the emotional burden of the sad and bad things that happen to their animal patients. 

It’s a form of mental trauma, resulting in the dulling of the ability to feel and care for others in their lives.
