Retrain your cat brain with Megan Brashears

Part two of our exciting podcast with veterinary nurse, Megan Brashear. Megan is talking about her two cats, one abandoned, polydactyl barn cat and a Seinfeld-character-look-alike brown tabby. Her cats are loosely domesticated as she describes them herself. In her words, cats would benefit from another 50k years of evolution. Also, if you need tips about driving around the country with a menagerie of pets, call Megan (as she has just endured and survived that adventure). Megan has a lot of responsibility for training the next generation of veterinary nurse students and loves to talk about the future role of veterinary nurses. For Megan, the most important to do is to get recognition and making veterinary nursing a true recognized profession including proper licensing and enough credentialed schools. In Megan’s opinion, there are very specific tasks that can be done by veterinary nurses with proper education. Megan shares a couple of ideas for a great future for vet nurses in your practice. Last but not least, we have to retrain our brain to be positive. That means I am always assuming good intent, remember the good things that happened and accentuate the positive in your life! You are allowed to vent but don’t do it at work!
