Definitely you want to--you want to go to both the NWRA and NWRC websites, and just
glean as much information as you possibly can from those websites, and you also can
look into your state to see if your state will have a state organization, because they
will usually have a conference yearly--your state organization will usually have a small
conference yearly that would probably be easier for you to get to, as opposed to maybe trying
to get to one of the national conferences. Anything that you can do to just immerse yourself
into what's happening in the world of wildlife rehabilitation. Your best thing is going to
be able to find a wildlife rehabilitator that you can volunteer with. That's where you're
going to get your full on experience with it. And that's the very best thing that you
can do. It's wonderful to have a little bit of *** retentiveness going on. I mean, because
there are things that you do need to be precise about. But, you can't--you have to be flexible.
You cannot have tunnel vision, and just be focused on what you're doing at this particular
time. You have to be aware of what's going on around you at all times. And you have to
be able to drop and adjust. Put down what you're doing, finish up if you have something
you need to finish, finish it up, and dive into something if you've got, you know, something
else major going on. And then come back to this and finish this up. You--it's all about
really adapting. Being very, very flexible, very adaptable, and just realizing that even
when it's horrible, that you're doing more good than anything else.
