Expectations are tricky, especially when it comes

Expectations are tricky, especially when it comes to how you believe clients should care for their pets. Learning to let go of outcomes can help you protect your emotional well-being—even when clients say “no.”

I love touring veterinary clinics and was thrilled to have the opportunity to visit the legendary @amcny - Congrats to the 30 new grads joining the intern class of 2024! 🎉

We’ve got you! Enrollment for our July cohort is now OPEN!

Seats are limited to ensure a high-quality learning experience. Claim yours ⬇️ right now ⬇️ or ask for Ready, Vet, Go mentorship in your sign-on package! Link in bio.

Recording your thoughts, reflections, and challeng

Recording your thoughts, reflections, and challenges can help you take charge of your learning, turn your weaknesses into strengths, and find encouragement during difficult times.

The Vet’s Success Journal lets you keep all that goodness in one place.

📓 Inside you’ll find tailor-made prompts, templates, trackers, and lessons to coach you through your first year in practice—it’s like having a Ready, Vet, Go mentor in your pocket! 🥼

"This journal is filled with helpful tips I've learned in almost 20 years of private practice — things they didn't teach us in vet school." —Dr. Dani Rabwin

At @readyvetgo_ , we LOVE collaborations! One of our earliest collaborators was the amazing team at @vetncare . This group truly embodies mentorship and continuing education, as evidenced by this robust, hands-on day long CE they provided to their vets and local DVMs. It was so much fun to reconnect with @klineje , one of the many vet students I have mentored over the years who is now an amazing veterinarian!

If your employer’s old-school approach to time m

If your employer’s old-school approach to time management makes you feel chained to your desk, put down the scissors ✂️ and say this ⬇️ ⬇️ instead:

“I understand that blocked time means fewer appointments, but it will increase my efficiency, allow me to maintain more complete and accurate records, and help me provide undivided attention to each patient and client—which will likely increase my per-visit production. Can we start with 30 minutes per day and reassess in a month?”

By acknowledging your boss’s concerns and outlining the advantages of protected time, you’ll provide a professional, logical, and non-confrontational argument for your proposal.

After seeing how this strategy works for you, they may just adopt it for themselves!💡

For more tips on navigating client conversations and boss negotiations, sign up for our July cohort! Link in bio.

👵 “Are you the vet tech?” ✋ “Thank you,

👵 “Are you the vet tech?”
✋ “Thank you, but I’ll wait for the doctor.”
😮 “You can’t be a vet, you look like you just got out of high school!”

Clients are like cats—they appreciate routine. So, when your fresh face appears across the exam room table, some clients might lose their filter. 🤭

🥊🥊 Instead of pulling your framed license off the wall and throwing it down like a gauntlet, I recommend the following:

Remember — The client’s reaction isn’t personal, but comes from a place of concern about their pet.

Share — Share a bit about your background and education. Express gratitude for being able to care for their pet.

Inform — Let the client know that you’ll discuss the case with your colleague if you have questions.

Reconsider — If this happens a lot, reconsider how you’re introducing yourself. Are you speaking clearly and confidently? Are you providing enough information?

Being new can be awkward, and clients can push on this pain point like nobody else.

Avoid taking these moments personally (except the comments about your youthful looks🪞… hold onto those)!

Instead, focus on confident communication and finding ways to build trust.

Need help connecting with clients? Ready, Vet, Go Veterinary Mentorship includes an entire module on communication! Link in bio.

Meet Dr. Dani!💓

Dani Rabwin, DVM, CEO and founder of Ready, Vet, Go Veterinary Mentorship created this program to address the gaps between vet school and clinical practice and to help new graduates enjoy long and rewarding veterinary careers.

As a natural teacher🍎 and passionate learner📖, Dani is committed to providing exceptional educational content, coaching, and support for the tough topics vet school doesn’t cover, such as client communication, efficiency, practice culture, financial wellness, and work-life balance. By avoiding common pitfalls and obstacles, new veterinarians can experience more rapid success and deeper job satisfaction. 🩺

Although Dr. Dani has been in practice for nearly 20 years, she retains the joy and enthusiasm of a new grad—and she’s showing others how to do the same.

Visit the Ready, Vet, Go website to learn more about our program and our fearless leader.

If your employer provides in-house mentorship (win

If your employer provides in-house mentorship (win!), Ready, Vet, Go can still be an enormous asset to your early career learning (bigger win)!

Unlike traditional programs, we don’t focus on technical training and mechanical skills—we go deeper and target the nuanced but everyday challenges faced by new grads and seasoned vets alike, such as:

🧭 Navigating challenging conversations

💵 Managing finances and paying off debt

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Finding your place in practice culture

⚖️ Balancing professional development and self-care to avoid burnout

🛑 Setting clear boundaries with clients, colleagues, and employers

Technical abilities are invaluable for building your confidence as a new grad, but mastering soft skills is the key to a long, healthy, and sustainable career. Talk to your practice owner about Ready, Vet, Go veterinary mentorship. Link in bio.

Attention, practice owners! Build your new assoc

Attention, practice owners!

Build your new associates' confidence and credibility by personally introducing them to your long-standing clients. 🤝

Making an intentional effort to showcase your new vets—and highlight what they bring to the practice—can quickly establish trust and a positive reputation.

👩‍⚕️👏👨‍⚕️🟰🤩🐕 When your best clients see you enthusiastically endorse the “newbie,” they’ll be more comfortable in their care and your new associate will feel valued and welcome.

Another simple way to support and retain your new graduate veterinarians is by including Ready, Vet, Go veterinary mentorship in their sign-on package! Look for the link in our bio.

Did you know? In addition to my small-group coaching, I also offer 1-on-1 coaching for those who want or need individual attention!

"Vet school does a great job and gets you to understand the big things, but there is still a lot to learn. Dr. Dani was the help that I needed! She helped bolster my confidence. I am a better doctor today because of her." —Dr. Katie S.

👻 If you’re ghosting veterinary employers, it

👻 If you’re ghosting veterinary employers, it will come back to haunt you.

Not showing up for interviews, failing to return phone calls, and ignoring emails are unacceptable and unnecessary behaviors that reflect poorly on you as a veterinary professional.

The veterinary community is small and tight-knit—meaning your early career actions (which may seem harmless) can cause future problems when you need to change jobs or are trying to build your professional network.

My thoughts on ghosting are simple: Don’t do it.

Politely declining an interview or job offer because you’ve received a better opportunity, changed your mind, or simply didn’t like the vibe is perfectly acceptable (OK, maybe don’t mention the bad vibe), but ghosting is NOT. 🚫👻

You have countless options for saying “No thanks,” but only one professional reputation.
Protect it. Communicate.
