“The FdSc in Veterinary Nursing is a great option
to becoming a registered veterinary nurse. With a
mix of theory and placement blocks, you are able to
practically apply theoretical knowledge throughout
each placement. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning
all the key attributes required of a veterinary nurse,
ranging from holding animals and pharmaceutical
skills to anaesthesia and emergency skills. With
each year, I am feeling more and more like a
vet nurse, everyone at the university and whilst
on placement have been so supportive for me
becoming the best I can be, either with assignments
and exams or practical. I would also recommend
anyone undertaking placement at the RVC to go
to the QMHA as it is a wonderful teaching practice
with so many facilities!”
