https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/4429/anybody-else-noticed there seems to be quite a few vacancies for lecturers and nurse trainers at the moment - many seemed to have been posted in first week of September. Whats happening all of a sudden? Not very good for students starting study in September/Oct ? en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/43201?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:02:12 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:5fd46117-fd79-41c8-a509-54ca5fe9bbfdloopylou711<p>I know napier university lost about 3 lecturers in one year due to nurses goin back to practice and that!! </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/43178?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:51:31 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:60b9df52-37d7-4c37-982a-5ea420ef7a21Nick Shackleton <p>Maybe there are more degree students and therefore more lectures required?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/43177?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:48:11 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c9b00e90-b4b3-49f2-a1d1-e115ae408db4albatross<p>interesting - but maybe it doesn&#39;t matter because it&#39;s so difficult to get a student place that the colleges are probably struggling to fill the VN course places anyway!<img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /></p> <p>Since July when people took their exams there have been only a handful of places advertised nationally and when you think that colleges used to have 20+ students each year, then presumably this year&#39;s intake is low (or comes from people who have moved on from the ANA etc within a practice and so practices didn&#39;t advertise).<br /><br />It would be nice to find out what colleges feel their percentage uptake is this year.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
