Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for critical care surgery and support the veterinarian during the surgery.This unit applies to veterinary nurses working under supervision of a registered veterinarian in a veterinary practice, referral centre or hospital where emergency and specialised critical care procedures are regularly performed by veterinarians. It applies to veterinary nurses with extensive vocational experience.Legislative and regulatory requirements apply to veterinary nurses but vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery.NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements. | ||
