Veterinary Nurses — You Care for Every Creature. It’s Time to Care for Yourself Too

Part of ‘The Wellbeing Advantage Professional’ Series.

Being a Veterinary Nurse is one of the most emotionally and physically demanding roles in any profession.
You’re the steady hands, the calm voice, the comfort, the support, the skill, and the heart behind every procedure, every emergency, and every worried pet parent.

You lift, carry, clean, medicate, monitor, soothe, reassure, organise, restrain, prepare, assist and lead.

But behind the scrubs and the brave face:

  • you push through exhaustion.
  • you skip meals.
  • you absorb distress from animals and owners.
  • you manage unpredictable shifts.
  • you carry emotional weight home.
  • you stand all day.
  • you work in high-pressure environments.
  • you deal with grief, fear and uncertainty.

You give everything — and rarely receive anything that refills your wellbeing tank.

Here’s how simple daily tools can support your stamina, emotional resilience, focus, mental clarity and physical recovery — while also giving you an aligned additional income stream that doesn’t interfere with your work.

Morning

Build the Strength You Need Before the Clinic Even Opens

Build a strong internal foundation

  • VMG+™ Whole-Food Nutrient Complex — supports steady cellular energy during long shifts.
  • EO Mega+™ Softgels — supports mental clarity and emotional balance.
  • PB Restore™ — supports gut balance and immunity, crucial in a clinic environment.
  • Support clean, steady morning energy. Take MetaPWR™ Mito2Max™ before your shift for stamina that doesn’t spike or crash.
  • Support calm confidence for stressful cases. Apply Adaptiv™ Touch Calming Blend to wrists or neck before leaving home.
  • Create a calm, grounded drive to work. Add a drop of Balance™ essential oil or Cedarwood essential oil for a smooth, grounded start to the day.

You walk into the clinic energised, prepared and centred — ready to face whatever the day brings.

Midday

Strength, Focus & Emotional Reset

Mid-shift can feel like “controlled chaos,” especially when juggling emergencies, surgery prep, owners’ concerns and admin.

  • Lift afternoon fatigue. Inhale Grapefruit essential oil or Green Mandarin essential oil for a clean energy reset.
  • Ease physical strain. Apply Deep Blue™ Rub to your lower back, shoulders or wrists after lifting animals or equipment.
  • Calm anxiety after difficult cases. Use Peace™ Reassuring Blend or Console™ Comforting Blend between emotionally heavy moments.
  • Refresh shared clinic spaces. Diffuse Purify™ Refreshing Blend to naturally freshen air between patients.
  • Support sustained afternoon energy. Add MetaPWR™ Advantage to water for balanced cellular energy as your shift continues.
  • Protect emotional boundaries. Apply Forgive™ Renewing Blend after emotional client interactions.
  • Avoid decision fatigue. Use Thinker™ Focus Blend before charting and procedure prep.

Your afternoon becomes more balanced, steady and emotionally manageable.

Evening

Release What You’ve Absorbed & Rebuild Your Energy

Veterinary Nurses carry more emotional weight than many realise. Your evenings must support physical repair and emotional recovery.

  • Support your digestion. Take a TerraZyme™ Enzyme Complex about 20 minutes before your evening meal to help support your digestion.
  • Should you have digestive issues, then take a ZenGest™ Softgel.
  • Soothe tired muscles and joints. Massage Deep Blue™ Soothing Blend with Fractionated Coconut Oil into your back, hips, feet and shoulders.
  • Quiet the mind after intense moments. Diffuse Lavender essential oil or Roman Chamomile essential oil while unwinding.
  • Let go of emotional residue. Apply Neroli Touch or Magnolia Touch to wrists or over the heart.
  • Support deep, restorative sleep. Use Serenity™ Softgels or Serenity™ Stick + Valerian so your nervous system fully resets.

Evenings become your sanctuary — a place to decompress, recover and restore.

Support the Veterinary Environment

These tools help your clinic environment without overpowering sensitive pet noses.

  • For anxious animals. Diffuse Lavender or Roman Chamomile essential oils in waiting areas. (Used lightly and in well-ventilated spaces).
  • For stressed pet parents. Use Bergamot + Frankincense essential oils in consultation rooms for emotional ease.
  • For Staffroom reset. Diffuse Citrus Bliss™ essential oil to uplift energy and mood.
  • For natural cleaning. Use Tea Tree essential oil + Lemon essential oil on surfaces and equipment. (Safe dilution, no contact with animals).
  • For car journeys to call-outs. Use Cedarwood essential oil or Wild Orange essential oil in your dōTERRA Car Clip Diffuser for calm and clarity.

Your clinic energy becomes calmer, clearer and more supportive for everyone.


Pet Owners Want Support Too — Give Them Tools That Help

Veterinary Nurses may hear:

  • “What can I use to calm my dog?”
  • “What helps with stress before appointments?”
  • “What about emotional support after surgery?”
  • “What helps me feel less anxious when my pet is unwell?”
  • “What helps with sleep during stressful times?”

These natural tools help both the pet owner and the pet household — and become an easy, ethical additional income stream.

You’re sharing what supports You — and what may support Them.
