Our Nurses

Jolene Johnston

HEAD VETERINARY NURSE

I got into Veterinary Nursing slightly later than most and qualified in 2007. Through working at Braid Vets, I have developed an interest in Animal Physiotherapy and hope to go on to sit my Certificate in this area. In the small amount of free time I have, I spend walking my accident prone black labrador "Dot."

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in early 2002 and joined Braid Vets in February 2005. I have since been promoted to Deputy Head Nurse and I am involved in the training of Student Nurses, having gained my A1 Assessor qualification in December 2008. I also run our Diabetes Nursing Clinics. I have a cat, named Oli, who was originally brought into the hospital as a stray.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2000 and worked as a full-time nurse at Braid Vets for a few years, before taking on the role of Evets Nurse for 5 years, which I enjoyed. Following the birth of my son, I now work as a part-time Veterinary Nurse for Braid Vets. My spare time is spent looking after my young son, and also socialising, travelling and going to the cinema when I have time.
