If you want to work with animals, a career in veterinary nursing is a natural fit. If you care deeply about the welfare of animals, you probably already know a lot about the field and the crucial role that veterinary nurses play in improving standards. You might have encountered veterinary nurses as a result of owning a pet or seeing their work in action on a television show.
Working with veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses are responsible for providing care and treatment to a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. They are essential to the operation of a successful veterinary practice. Being a veterinary nurse is a worthwhile goal because of the sense of fulfillment that comes from restoring a sick animal to health and the long-lasting friendships made while working as part of a close-knit team.
There are a variety of veterinary nurse qualifications, ranging from the Level 3 Diploma from Further Education to the FdSc and BSc Honours from Higher Education; The College is pleased to offer these programs in their entirety.
