The Handbook of Veterinary Nursing - Orpet and Welsh - great book....find it here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Handbook-Veterinary-Nursing-Hilary-Orpet/dp/0632052589/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257704302&sr=1-5

Hilary Orpet was one of my examiners for the practicals so I reckon she must know what she is on about!!! - good luck. Sorry to diss the book if you liked the first one but just remember sequels are sometimes a let down!!!

Perdi Welsh - co-writer of the book taught me at college!! She was a fantastic teachers, really knew her stuff and I have her book. The book is invaluable - a must have for VN's as well as SVN'S

I have a copy at home, I'm away on a locum place at the moment but if you're okay waiting a week or so I can post it out to you? It's in a used condition but no writing on the pages or anything.

I actually really liked this book, and found this and the one for 1st year so helpful especially for revision. Just be aware that this book was for the old syllabus so there will be some things in there now that you don't need to know, so not to panic!

Eeek thanks for finding that - don't think I am going to spend £43 on it plus shipping from US - am a poor student nurse and it coming up to christmas - but thanks you again for finding it.

Fluffy- I just like the style of the book it is useful to take to college for looking up things without taking the big BSAVA textbook, and as a revision tool. I found the one last year handy for revision. What books would you reccomend? I had a brilliant anatomy and physiology book last year that was great but am finding it hard to find anything that covers more than one topic this year and it is pricey buying mulitiple books!

you say you are desperate.... I had it but gave it on to another student as I thought it was rubbish. Some of the q&a had the wrong answers and frankly i felt it was really unfocussed in the right directions and would not recommend it to anyone. If there are specifics that you feel unsure of let me know and i will happily point you in th direction of good books.
