Today's word is Aflatoxicosis.

Today we are featuring Vet nurse wellbeing words ✨️

I became a registered veterinary nurse because animals are my whole heart.

The innocence of them. The loyalty. The way they trust you even when they're frightened and in pain.

I'm an empath. I chose this career because I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

And then the XL bully ban happened.

Healthy dogs. Innocent animals failed by the humans meant to protect them. And we were left to pick up the pieces. The public rescues. The RSPCA cases. The things I saw that I couldn't unsee.

And I felt nothing.

I'd go home and tell my partner horror stories with a straight face. I relied on dark humour to get through shifts. I thought it was because I'd been in the job long enough.

I didn't realise it was a problem.

I wasn't broken.

I was burnt out. Compassion fatigued. Morally injured by participating in something that went against everything I became a nurse for.

I built Still Standing because I needed it and it didn't exist.

And if you're reading this feeling numb, feeling empty, feeling like somewhere along the way you lost the person who chose this career with their whole heart, I need you to know something...

You're not broken either.
