Hello Everyone.
We are pleased to welcome Erin Rogers to our Blog.
Erin Rogers is a veterinary nurse at Carolina Pets Animal Hospital, and a Sun Valley local. A graduate of Sun Valley high school, Erin became interested in working with animals while attending Appalachian State University and has pursued the veterinary field ever since. She has worked as a veterinary nurse at one of the leading 24 hr general and emergency practices in Charlotte as well as a general practice in Union County. Erin has extensive experience in wellness care, surgical assistance and anesthetic monitoring, as well as a special interest in care of cancer patients and orthopedic surgery.
Erin: Hi! Thanks for having me! It's an honor to take part in our blog.
Q1): Can you tell us something about yourself that we can’t find on the internet?
Erin: One thing not many people know about me is that while I am technically left handed, writing is the only thing I actually do as a lefty. I am much more comfortable doing things like bowling or kicking a soccer ball with my right.
Q2): As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?
Erin: When I was growing up I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. It is no surprise to me that I ended up being a veterinary nurse as they both require compassion and care giving.
Q3): What is the most surprising thing you’ve learned working as a veterinary nurse?
Erin: One of the things that continues to surprise me working in this field is seeing first hand how selfless people can be. Not just seeing our clients tending to the needs of their own pets, but also strangers donating time and money to pets in need.
Q4): Do you have a favorite patient that you remember (alive or deceased)? What made this your favorite patient?
Erin: One of my favorite patients has to be a little Maltese named Hoot. Hoot was very sick in our hospital for over a week. I even came in after hours to take care of him. For all the treatments he needed and as bad as he must have felt, Hoot never complained and is one the sweetest dogs I've ever met.
Thank you so much for being with us today, Erin. We are fortunate to have you on our team.
