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

Thatâs the next step, I think, thatâs a good point đ
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 đ

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

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

Is this something you can circumvent by volunteering at the Lort Smith? Though I donât suppose youâre allowed to volunteer for nursing⌠or with qualifications, are you? I donât know. Iâm 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?

They didnât contact me back last time lol but Iâll try again when they post openings/requests for volunteers
