ABSTRACT: Once qualified, most Veterinary Nurses relish the thought of no longer having to revise for exams or find and write up case logs for the NPL and CSL. They are content with CPD days on various topics and not having the stress put back on them that student VNs encounter. This article looks at the benefits of studying for the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (DipAVN) and how it can be achieved whilst still working in a full-time position.
