Rosalie – Veterinary Nurse
Rosie knew from a very young age that she wanted to work with animals. She grew up on a farm south-west of Sydney and had almost every type of animal you can imagine as a pet (her favourite are pet rats!). Rosie got her first vet nursing job back in 2002, started her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and became a fully qualified veterinary nurse in 2004.
There are many things Rosie loves about vet nursing but her absolute favourite thing is giving the patients that extra bit of TLC while they’re in our care, as it builds trust and it goes a long way to reduce any anxiety or fears they may have while they’re here at the hospital.
Rosie taught Puppy Preschool at another vet before and loved it! She is currently undergoing training so that she can start teaching Puppy Preschool at Orchard Hills as well.
Rosie started work at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital in July 2022.
