say about blended learning
www.rvc.uk.com/blendedlearning “The lecturers and nursing teaching staff made the
course feel enjoyable, making you feel involved and
supported along the entire way. My time at the RVC
allowed me to make friends for life. Since graduating,
I’ve been working in a small animal, first-opinion hospital
as an RVN, I’m now also a clinical coach! I enjoy the
versatility the job brings – a veterinary nurse is so many
things and the skills you get to utilise really helps you to
be proud of what you’re doing.

The RVC has helped prepare me for the range of
experiences you’ll face in the field and the content you
learn does its best to prepare you for the veterinary world.
Even after graduating, the RVC encourages you to further
develop – I’ve recently been able to publish my research!”
