Pennfoster vet tech externship 1 skills question
I’m beginning my first vet tech externship in a few days and I printed out all of the skills and the details bc I feel like I do better with a paper copy. Looking this enormous packet over, I’m honestly scared that I won’t have enough time to complete everything. Each skill typically demands a list of 10 things repeated 5x over.
I’m wondering how exactly it works when you begin your work at your clinic. Mine is going to be 8 hr shifts twice weekly, and for anyone who has already completed this or is in the midst of their clinicals, how many skills did you complete on average per shift? Was it just one or two? Did you always complete a skill? For the ones that require any sort of writing and not just a picture or video, did you complete that on the spot at the clinic or just gather the info then do it at home? How many hours of work post shift did you have to complete usually?
