Careers

Veterinary nursing is a career with lots of job satisfaction and there is a strong demand for registered veterinary nurses. Although the majority of RVNs work in general practice there are increasing opportunities for specialisation in different areas, such as patient rehabilitation and companion animal behaviour. Although primarily a companion animal qualification, the degree offers modules for those interested in other species, increasing the job opportunities available upon graduating.

The pharmaceutical industry employs trained veterinary nurses. The Veterinary Nursing (with placement) (Hons) programme of Harper Adams University also opens the door to wider opportunities concerning the health and welfare of animals.
