I have just enrolled in an online animal care course...i'm so excited yet so scared at the same time lol.

Let me explain why i'm scared.....i'm an immensely very veryshy and quietly spoken girl....i do work part time as a receptionist in a doctors surgery,this is not a huge surgery just a small local oneand it's more of a vietnamese surgery, they do get Aussiepatients to though,i'm an Aussie girl but my ex was vietnamese and i had gotten the job through his friend who is the doctor which made it easier for me to work there,i was just so lucky,most of the patientscan speak english but some cannot,anyway i just did my job and that was that....i was never really into that job but i stayed because i was familiar with everything and i got to know the people to,and i hate change in my life,it comes with me being shy.

Anyway,i have been seeing a counsellor for my emontional problems that my ex had caused me,and she has booked me into a confidence class,i start tomorrow,i desperately need the confidence to be able to do more with my life.

Well i found an online animal care course as well,that runs for around 18 months.

Oh my gosh i forced myself to sign up,the girl called me up today to explain everything to me,she was saying that doing this course is fantastic,and once i have my certificate,i will be able to work anywhere where they need help concerning animals,like pet shops,kennels,catteries,and she was also saying that this is the first step to becoming a veterinary nurse,umm i never really thought of being a vet nurse before :shock:,in the course,some ofmy study involves me having to work at a veterinary clinic to learn a few things,i have to choose three clinics and then they will choose one of thosefor me...i'm so nervous just thinking about it,but i know this will be good for me,i just needed to force myself into something instead of being so scared all the time.

They will be posting out my first text book out tomorrow and i should recieve it in a few days because the company is interstate.And it's also fantastic because i can do it all in my own time,as long as it's finished before the 18 months

Anyway i just wanted to share my excitement and my nervousness.

I just cannot believe little ol me will be finally doing something different,i think this will also be a good confidence booster as well,and a good step in the right direction to :)

Congrats, Cheryl!! it sounds like a great course and awonderful opportunity for more exposure :toastingbunsyour fur kids will benefit too, from all the knowledge you will be gaining!

is the course only available to australians?


 
Cheryl, that is GREAT! This is going to be an awesome experience and you will do great. This course sounds like a lot of fun. :bunnydance:
 
Thankyou so much everyone :)

I really believe this will be the best start to a new beginning,i have really needed something like this for a long time now,but my shyness has always gotten in the way.

I just want to be able to work somewhere with animals and be able to have that experience behind me,i'mnot necessarily looking to be a vet nurse thoughbut i guess afteri have completed the coursewho knows :D

Thanks again everyone :)

Wow!!! Congrats!! IT sounds like it's going to be LOTS of fun! Jut think of all the cool stuff you can learn and you get to help animals while you do it!

You'll do fine, and it might even make it easier to find good rabbit savy vets! Mabey when I'm older and have some free time I'll try signing up I've always wanted to help out at a vets office, I've never wantd too be a vet, but still!

Good luck, I bet you'll have a blast!!:)
 
Hey TK,

The good thing about it is,it's for all ages,on the site i read that there is a 16 year old doing the course,and you can doeverything in your own time,just as long as the course is finished before the 18 months,the girl was saying that you can have extensions but it is an extra cost though.


 
Oooh that would be wonderful. I have thought about taking online courses for what I want to do through Penn Foster.

I hope this all works out for you.
 
Good for you, what a wonderful first step! You will sail right thru this and gain the confidence and onto a vet nurse...wait and see, its just a matter of time! :biggrin2:
 
Thats excellent news!! WELL DONE! You should be really proud of yourself. Ohhh you could be a vet nurse! Wishing you all the luck in the world (not that you will need any of it you will do brilliantly! Well done and thanks for sharing your exciting news with us

I'm still so nervous just thinking about it,i'm so frightened that i'm not going to be able to do it or something lol.

I'm just waiting to recieve my first text book,i don't think it will come today as it's friday,so i'm sure it will come sometime after Monday now.

Thankyou again everyone :hug:
