Rowan Kelly
Registered Veterinary Nurse | Junior Veterinary Technician
Tolka Valley Veterinary Hospital
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the Veterinary Tech position at Tolka Valley Veterinary Hospital. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse with hands-on companion animal clinical experience in Dublin, I welcome the opportunity to contribute my practical nursing skills, anaesthetic monitoring experience, and commitment to calm, attentive patient care to your team.
In my current role as a Veterinary Technician at Liffeybank Animal Hospital, I routinely prepare patients, place intravenous catheters, administer pre-medications, and monitor general anaesthesia across routine soft-tissue and dental procedures. Recording vital parameters throughout theatre cases and maintaining clean inpatient recovery suites have strengthened my vigilance and technical confidence. Furthermore, I deliver prescribed fluid therapy protocols and guide pet owners through post-operative wound care and medication schedules during discharge consultations.
My clinical background also includes performing in-house laboratory testing on routine blood, urine, and cytological samples using benchtop analysers to support prompt diagnostic assessments. Additionally, I developed an inpatient project that standardised pain scoring via the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale and introduced practical low-stress handling aids across our wards. I look forward to bringing this structured focus on diagnostic support, clinical hygiene, and patient welfare to Tolka Valley Veterinary Hospital.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding how my veterinary nursing background and theatre experience align with the needs of your practice. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Rowan Kelly
