Meet Your Instructor, Laura!

Laura qualified with a BSc (Honors) degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2010 and subsequently became a registered vet nurse with the RCVS working in the UK. In 2015 she moved to Australia and began her journey into emergency and critical care and has since worked in a range of nursing and leadership positions in multiple specialty clinics, mainly based in intensive care units and emergency rooms but also dabbling in internal medicine and surgical specialties. Laura now works as the clinical development and operational support specialist ECC vet nurse at Ready Vet Go, Melbourne's Vet Ambulance Service as well as teaching the next generation of Vet Nurses at a bachelor's degree course in Melbourne! During all this, Laura has gained extra qualifications, including completing her certificate in ECC nursing in 2019 and passing the vigorous application process and examination to gain her VTS (ECC) status in 2022! Laura is a self-confessed nerd that not only loves learning but also teaching and empowering others to learn more! This is why she started her continued education venture, 'Veterinary Emergency Specialty Training' aka VEST (@Laurarvn.vest on Instagram) so that she could share her experience and knowledge to help others learn and develop their skills. Laura’s other passion is the progression of the vet nursing profession. Laura is constantly working with different organisations to try and improve the standardisation, recognition and regulation surrounding the veterinary nurse profession.
