Why choose Vet Nurse plus?
Vet Nurse plus was established in 2005 following the 2004 NZ Veterinary Nursing Human Resources Development Survey, sponsored by the Veterinary profession, which identified concerns with the relevance of current teaching for Veterinary practices. Vet Nurse plus provides a high level of technical resource and tuition. Practical application is a large part of the teaching programme with two days a week spent in select Veterinary practices.
Career Opportunities
Veterinary nursing graduates have found work in veterinary clinics in New Zealand, UK, Australia and Canada. They have also worked in conservation areas for example the bear rehabilitation compounds in Thailand and China. They have found work with guide dogs, customs and MAF. Some have gone on to be sales representatives for pharmaceutical, distribution and pet food companies.
Others now work at the zoo, the SPCA, dog control and similar places. Others are now furthering veterinary nursing by teaching and with representation on various animal related boards.
So if you love working with animals this programme could open up doors into a huge array of different career areas - both here and overseas.
