If they want to move to Scotland, then we are crying out for nurses up here!!!

yes I do think they are limiting themselves through geographic preference - and I also think a big part of it is that they just dont know what to do when they do get an interview, tend to run off at the mouth a bit and end up saying things they shouldn't. They look fantastic on paper but they just dont interview well (and I was already aware of this when I agreed to help). Do any of the colleges teach interview technique at all as part of the course?

The OP is correct - the yellow parts are the non essential equine tasks.

We haven't had any issues with degree nurses finding jobs. The practices we speak to are still desperate to fins more RVNs!

Could it be they are limiting themselves to a small geographic area and this is limiting their options?

thanks :-) feel happier now to pass details on. I hope they get work soon

as an aside - would anybody know are there many newly qualified out there that havn't managed to find work at the moment? - just wondered if this is an isolated case or this is an early warning?

Hi Sal, This usually (for the small animal pathway) means that the task is equine related, which for SA, the student can choose not to undertake. All of other tasks I believe are essential so there should be no reflection on the students capabilities otherwise.
