A video idea Holly - Differences in horse care/ownership and competing in Ireland v Australia. For example in Australia floats are super common and it seems Ireland/UK/Europe don’t tend to offload and tie their horses to floats at venues but that’s super common in Australia.

I loved this and I'm a Grade One teacher two years from retirement. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a vet but went into journalism in university and then teaching. I live vicariously through you in both riding and career.

The TV show 'Scottish Vets Down Under' features this veterinary practice and is very enjoyable for anyone interested. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Watching this, it kinds makes it more clear, why so many young people are leaving Ireland. It's so expensive compared to the pay you get. It amazes me, that the Irish Government has yet to do anything about it. 😅 But on another note, UCD is such a pretty campus. Absolutely loved my semester abroad there. The small lakes on campus where you could eat your lunch and the swans!!! So so pretty.

Well done video, Holly. I'm not a vet, but a retired nurse, and one thing I can also recommend for school are study groups. Made my Uni life much easier and I was able to grasp the material better. I totally get the fatigue thing, I did call for a few years @ 1 in 3 and that's exhausting (by the end I was 1 in 6 or less).

@HollyLenahanSJ Жыл бұрын

I don’t find study groups good for me, but definitely heard other people swear by them! Worth a go for sure! On call is tough 😴

My favorite note taking practice was take what I could, then gather with others in the class and compare, inevitably some would have something we all missed and then we would have the most complete notes to study.

Great video Holly! I think the differences between other countries and Canada/US's veterinary program are so interesting. We do minimum 2 years of an undergraduate degree (most people do 3 years or a full degree), then a 4 year veterinary program. Totally agree with you about not feeling like you know how to be a vet after graduation, lol. I ended up going into an anatomic pathology residency so after a few years out I REALLY don't feel like I know how to be a vet now, haha. If it's not on a necropsy table I don't know what to do with it 😂💀

Hey Holly! I am a 3rd year vet student in South Africa at Onderstepoort faculty. We also only have one vet school in the country - I understand the "getting very high grades" to get in. The 2nd nearest vet school is in Namibia. We also have SOOO many toxic plants and ticks and endemic diseases in Southern Africa which makes the degree hard to stay in as well... But it is REALLY cool and interesting. We do a BVSc degree that is 6 years, where the first 4 years is preclinical and theory and practical training. The last 2 years you start working at the Onderstepoort Academic Hospital on different rotations e.g. equines, smallies, ICU, exotics.

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! 😍 I’m studying my 5th year of vet school in Sweden and it seems we’ve had very similar experiences. I’m also hoping to work with reproduction in the future, you’re a big inspiration of mine and have been through all these years ⭐️

that's the same with New Zealand; we only have 1 vet school so it's super competitive to get in. Also, have to do so many days with a vet clinic and I believe there is specialising here.

Hi Holly , random question I am currently looking in Ty in secondary school Ireland and need to pick my subjects for 5-6th and would love to get in veterinary in the future or basically anything including animal care , what subjects would you recommend I was thinking- biology,chemistry and ag science or biology, geography and ag science . Would love to know what you recommend and great video ❤

@HollyLenahanSJ Жыл бұрын

I think I talked about what subjects I did in this video? Chemistry is a required subject the last time I checked so you will have to do that if you want to do veterinary. And biology is highly recommended

Anybody trying to get into Medical school these has to have an intervew - just like Vets, Doctors have to have the right personality (as well as high grades) thank goodness. I was an RN and back then some of the Dr's behaviour and manners, both medical and toward other staff, was rude and downright horrible. I went on to do a degree in Enviromental Science (always do chemistry! It's the building block of ALL systems) and I really didn't like study groups, each to their own. Thanks for doing this it was most interesting 😁.
