Internship #1

1. What are you excited about, nervous about and wondering about?

I was excited about being able to learn about the different types of medication that is used on the animals and what's the problem with them and how they are being treated. I'm also excited about seeing the behind the scenes of when owners gives their pets to the vet, what goes on behind the doors. I was excited about being there to see surgeries go on, it was very interesting to watch and I didn't realized how long it actually took for certain problems. I was nervous about thinking that I wouldn't have anything to do and I'll just being taking up space (cause it was a small room) but I actually was able to help out when most hands were full or others were busy. When I see a simple task that needs to be done, I do it instead of waiting to be told to help out. Mostly the things I wondered about were answered this short week, I got to ask question about why they did it this way or why they're doing this at all. I was happy that they had time to answer my questions.

6. Describe the company culture at your internship, including how people interact, communicate and work together.

It's very fun like in the room. Even though it's sometimes busy, everyone acts like a big family. They like to make jokes and what they did at home and such. It can be crazy in there (in a good way of course) and that's what I like to see. That's also what I hope I can do when I start to work is feel like a family with my co-workers instead of having people who just want to get the work do and that's it. Everyone helps out each other when they can and fill in for those who are sick. Everyday I hear laughter in the room and that's a good sign to me.
