If you want a career working with animals, veterinary nursing provides a rewarding opportunity that requires both skill and dedication.
Veterinary nurses are the backbone of any veterinary practice.
As a student veterinary nurse you will be involved in nearly every aspect of the practice. This will include operating theatres, the cleaning and sterilisation of instruments, ordering drugs and equipment, and laboratory analysis. You will also be required to provide care and support for the animals in the practice as well as undertaking general reception, telephone and cleaning duties. The work will be both emotionally and physically demanding. The career opportunities for veterinary nurses are many and varied, with jobs being advertised throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.
