Day 1 as an Intern

I survived my first day as a vet tech intern! It was kinda a slow day, but I obtained a lot more hands-on experience that I expected for it being my first day. I did some blood draws, heartworm tests, CBCs, fecals, nail trims, ear cleanings, vaccines, and x-rays. I met a lot of new people too. All the techs were very welcoming today, as were the doctors. Although, the clients weren't so much. It was only my first day, and I already had a client from hell and a new puppy owner. The client from hell decided waiting for 30 mins was too long. Yet, how often do we go to a doctor appt and wait for an hour or more? Almost every time. 30 mins is normal, but he decided that it wasn't acceptable. He yelled at almost every tech, and demanded a discount. That's about it from my first day. Time to go to bed now and rest up from being up at 6:30am.

I'm so glad you survived your first day and it wasn't too bad. Wow, you sure did a lot of stuff for it being your first day. They must be very impressed with you!
