It's Not a Bad Life. Just a Bad Day

Taking care of animal patients and their families isn’t always easy. From long hours and sleepless nights to physical demands and emotional burnout, those employed in the veterinary field face extraordinary pressure.

Consequently, it can be hard to keep your spirits up. One way Megan Kinney manages to stay positive is to repeat the best career advice she ever received like a mantra.

She encourages people to remember, “It's not a bad life, just a bad day.”

And when all else fails, she thinks about the one person she admires most in the whole wide world, her mother.

Megan explains, “I admire my mom for her commitment to family. I owe her everything for showing me what unconditional love is. She is patient, compassionate, and genuine. Yet she has no problem being brutally honest when needed. I admire her more than she'll ever know. You'll never know how much I look up to you, Mom!”

Currently, Megan is developing special interests in anesthesia and emergency medicine. Her commitment to care and “can-do” attitude will surely serve her well in these endeavors.
