Im lucky enough to be employed and go to college as a block release student but I feel really bad for u guys! There is enough coursework to be worrying about without the stress of finding a placement too! <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Angry_smiley.png" alt="Angry" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/97539?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 25 Sep 2010 10:24:02 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c1d8afce-6ee8-45ab-af35-6628e22b908aKim<p>I&#39;m on the new course also, but i&#39;m on the part-time version.

So maybe get your tutuor to speak to them and see what they can arrange for you.</p> <p>Something will turn up and once it does, you will love it <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Big Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
