The annual awards celebrate the commitment and hard work of teaching staff who support veterinary nursing students, recognising their talent, skill, and dedication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part of the CCOAS team since 2020, Donna originally qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2002 and started teaching in 2004 alongside working in small animal and mixed practices in both the UK and abroad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As well as teaching the next generation of veterinary nurses in her role as a senior tutor at our training college in Exeter, Devon, Donna is also centre liaison, internal quality assurance, and a mental health first aider. She holds a Masters in Clinical Animal Behaviour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before her career in veterinary nursing, Donna served with the Women\u2019s Royal Naval Service for 11 years. In her spare time, she volunteers with the charity Veterans with Dogs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The winners of CQ Veterinary Nursing Educator Award are nominated by students and fellow professionals.\u00a0Among the comments made by those who nominated Donna were:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>\u201cDonna is so knowledgeable, a great communicator and really great at motivating and inspiring her class to learn from her and develop their own skills and interests. Best teacher I ever had!\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\u201cI am incredibly grateful for Donna for everything she has and continues to teach me, shaping me into a confident future nurse.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\u201cDonna goes out of her way to ensure all students get all the help they need. When I was struggling with an exam, she organised extra mornings to come into college for extra support one on one and has done the same for other students.\u201d<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Donna said: \u201cWinning the award has been a shock and I feel quite humbled, but it is good to know that all the hard work that goes on at CCOAS is appreciated by our students. I love my current role as no two days are the same.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re delighted that Donna Green, one of our senior tutors, has won a Central Qualifications (CQ) Veterinary Nursing Educator Award.
