The PDSA is a great place to work and you&#39;ll see loads. On a note of caution though, PDSA don&#39;t train veterinary nurses any more (with the exception of Glasgow) so I wouldn&#39;t set your heart on them taking you on as a student VN - unless the changes to VN training have meant they&#39;ve started to take students again? Would def be worth clarifying with Stoke or Head Office so you know where you stand. x/x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/94499?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:11:20 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:67db5d47-6f75-42eb-94a8-38198b5318a5Vicky RVN<p>Congrats <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Thumbs_up.png" alt="Thumbs up" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
