  Not from what I saw. Other industries yes, but vet nursing they want us to source the placement ourselves. Even their grad careers page had nothing in animal industry. Totally wild considering the resources they had for the actual classes I took

    Is this something you can circumvent by volunteering at the Lort Smith? Though I don’t suppose you’re allowed to volunteer for nursing… or with qualifications, are you? I don’t know. I’m not qualified to know how any of this works.

    Just looking for loopholes.

    How the hell do they expect people to get enough experience to be hired if nobody will hire you for lack of experience?

    Yeah I saw their grad jobs board and it looks like the ones unis use. That sucks that they make you source the placement

      That’s the next step, I think, that’s a good point 💜

      Shame the vast majority of vet nurse jobs posted want me to have the cert IV already lol riddle me that Batman chicken and egg shite 😂

        Exactly! I thought the course was supposed to teach you how to be a vet nurse 🙈

        Forgive my butting in on the matter… but one of the vet clinics I use has over the past couple of years upskilled their ‘reception’ staff with vet nurse training. I know its not the job you want, but it could be a start given your previous experience.
