Thanks Nicky, I'm mostly just concerned with how much the workload will be really. I didn't find the theory of nursing too much of a challenge after 6 years out of education which surprised me, I think because it was learning established ideas and scientifically proven facts instead of trying to prove new theories. is much of the diploma based upon case studies and assignments? Thanks

Hi, the RVC one is different and not DipAVN think its a PgDip but someone else can prob correct me if wrong!!

I ma just doing it at Harper Adams - qualified 1996!! I would just say dont feel you need to do straight away as I think some post qualificatio is very useful. If you want anymore info on Harper one please pm me and be happy to help.

What are everyone's opinions on the DipAVN please? Sorry if I've missed a thread on this before, but I'm (hopefully) about to qualify, so would like to get a headstart on the reading for it as I understand that I can't start until I've been qualified for a year. I'm thinking of doing it at the RVC as that would be my closest college that offers it.
