https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/11184/becoming-a-vet-nurse I have sent many letters of training positions all with no luck. Can i volunteer in a practice and pay for training myself.

Training isn&#39;t just about course costs - it requires a lot of time and support from your peers and employers.&nbsp; This &#39;cost&#39; to the practice is difficult to quantify but is very significant.</p> <p>I would encourage you to undertake voluntary work in a practice, but don&#39;t expect training until you get a permanent position. Sorry!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
