Hi just thought I start a thread for those who want to apply for veterinary nursing this year .
I would like to apply to the RVC and Middlesex but I am not sure which one is first choice :/
Hi I am applying to do a BSc in veterinary nursing for 2014 , my first choice is The College of West Anglia and still need to decide on my other choices
oh and my work exp is ... 2 weeks SA vet 8 day course london zoo RVC summer school volunteering at stables in riding schook and another 2 weeks at SA vet
Working with animals in a hands on role is something I have wanted to do for a while and when I researched into veterinary nursing it just seemed ti fit, supporting animals throughout their care and treatment it exactly what I want to do.
How about you? why veterinary nursing?
Work experience wise I have been volunteering at a Hedgehog hospital for 5 weeks, and am going to spend the rest of the year getting as much work experience as I can as I know I don't have enough at the moment. I'm also going to be doing the animal nursing assistants qualification while I do this
Yeah, the entry requirements for the Uni I'm applying for are to have a minimum of four weeks animal experience with at least two weeks in a small or mixed veterinary practice so I'm email around all my local vets to see if they'll have me
I haven't decided yet, I'm trying to find uni's that I can commute to from Cambridge, finding hard to pick five so don't know if ill use all of my choices. Are you applying to any other ones?
hmmm id really like one close to home so i can commute so first choice is middlesex then its the RVC but if i go RVC then id probably have to move out....and i dont want to lol!
I'm hoping to apply to Harper Adams << first choice , Myerscough HE college, Nottingham Trent. I'm not sure at the moment if I will be applying to anywhere else. I've done 6 weeks in a small animal veterinary practice, 1 week at a horse stables and I've got weeks booked for next Easter and summer holidays at a small and large vets practice.

thanks I really enjoy doing work experience as there's always something different to see, plus the staff are really friendly. I did 4 weeks in a small animal practice during the summer holidays.
Oh bother .. I only decided I defiantly wanted to do veterinary nursing before the summer so I spent the whole summer trying to find work experience and their was nothing (I live in a rural area) I have 1 week lined up in October and that's it ..HELP

is there any way you can travel a bit further out?, or are there any farms or stables close by? as long as you have a least some veterinary experience, and the rest made up of stables/farms/pets shops/shelter etc I think that will be fine
Some places only want 2 weeks done before your interview (which would be in January/February) and you could make up the weeks in hours, last year I was in the vets on a Wednesday after school for 2 and a half hours, so that's made up one of my weeks, you could do your work experience this way once you find somewhere
