Final year RVC veterinary nursing BSc student, Talitha Johnson, is asking RVNs to take part in a survey investigating how appreciated you feel at work.

The survey, which forms part of Talitha's dissertation, considers the different ways in which people show their appreciation in practice, from appreciative words to tangible gifts, and which are most appreciated by veterinary nurses.

It also asks you to cast your mind back over the past month and ask yourself whether you think the appreciation you’ve received from colleagues has matched the level of work you’ve put it.

Talitha (pictured right) said: "I’m really passionate about the importance of showing appreciation and feeling valued. The more veterinary nurses that take part in my survey, the stronger the results will be, so please do!"

In all, this fascinating survey should take you no more than 5-10 minutes, if that. Here’s the link: https://rvc.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/rvnappreciationsurvey.

It has been approved by the Social Sciences Research Ethical Review Board (SSRERB) at the Royal Veterinary College.

The closing date is 31st February 2019.
