Being that little bit older and going to uni is alot more common these days. Im sure they'll be someone there older than you.
I did a national diploma in animal management back in 2004 - 2006 so Ive been out of study for 9 years. Was planning on the vet nursing degree after that but I was needed at home and well the years just passed. Looking forward to it though

I know what you mean - I got a job 'for 6 months' and ended up spending 10 years there rather than doing vet nursing! Have you managed to get a placement sorted for year 2 yet?
No yet no. Im doing 4 weeks placement at a vets over august and theyve said if I like it they'll offer me my year placement. Have you?
Are you living in or travelling?

I've managed to get one at one of the vets i did a placement at earlier in the year. Thought they would say no since I originally needed it for this September but they've been really good and moved it.

I'm travelling from Leeds - going to get one of the college buses there and back. What are you doing?

Where abouts in Wakefield do you live - I'm in East Ardsley. I was going to drive but decided the free bus would save on petrol!

Just off junction 40 of M1, a place called Flanshaw. I thought the same but if we finish early id want to get home or if we start late .... free bus is at set times.

My mum lives in Wrenthorpe! Im just going to use any spare time to get some work done i think but im hoping they give us our timetable early on so I can see if its worth driving in on some days. Which practice are you working at in August?
