I agree. For good pictoral information, esp A&P Vicky Aspinalls Textbook of VN os good.

For 2nd years Orpet and Welshs Handbook of VN is excellent. Breaks down practical tasks and is handy for RVNs after qualification as covers everything in short form. I used to recap stuff on the way to new locum jobs with it!

As per Mark's post - I would always suggest the BSAVA Lane and Cooper textbook, and the latest edition has more on different species and is better suited to the current syllabus than previous editions. The Aspinall textbooks are nice too, they seem to approach topics in a different way so if you use both, you may find that you understand things better. The Aspinall books also seem to have more in the way of equine topics, which have gained more focus recently, even on the SAVN route. Lastly, I would never hesitate to suggest multiple choice question books, several of which are by the College of Animal Welfare and Julie Ouston at MYF Training has written a great MCQ book too if you can get hold of a copy x

Hi, Jodie!

While I'm not personally a vet nurse, I've heard several people speak highly of the BSAVA (Formerly Jones's) Nursing Textbook (it was practically the nursing bible when I worked in practice) - there's a few other suggestions in the link below:

Also, where are you studying? Often your lecturers or clinical coach might have suggestions or personal favourites.

Kind regards,
Mark
