'We need to find our inner voice'
Stacey Bullock
If elected to VN Council, Stacey Bullock hopes to see a more standardised to veterinary nurse training.

VN Council hopeful shares her future aims

Veterinary nurse Stacey Bullock is among six candidates hoping to be elected to the VN Council in this year's upcoming elections. If elected, she hopes to see a more standardised approach to veterinary nurse training, as well as improved efforts to empower veterinary nurses.

Adding value to the RVN
Speaking to VetCommunity, Stacey said she would like to see every practice team member helping to add value to RVNs by empowering them to carry out the tasks for which they are trained.

"They are extremely under-utilised and therefore morale runs low," she explained. If nurses were empowered within practice, she believes it would reaffirm the need for qualified nursing staff in all practices.
