As a veterinary nurse you should be hard working, passionate about animals, pragmatic and dedicated to your work; many veterinary nurses end up taking their work home with them - often quite literally in the form of kittens and that need hand rearing or abandoned or stray animals.
Some of the tasks you may be involved with include:
Minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4 or equivalent in Maths, English and a science subject, plus two others.
