&lt;p&gt;Well done you, what&amp;nbsp;a proud moment. I am just about to commence into the world of training and was worried that my age may be against me. Can I ask, have you always worked with animals or did you decide 2-3 yrs ago this was what u wanted to do? Just trying to determine how difficult a time I have ahead of me..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Chelle,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I got a job as a vet receptionist 7 years ago and after 18months managed to get taken on as a nursing assistant and they agreed to train me a year later. Most of&amp;nbsp;the people I was at &amp;nbsp;college&amp;nbsp;with were a) a lot younger and b) more experienced than me but I have had nothing but encouragement all the way. I think I was the only one who doubted my capabilities but then I am not a confident person and this is what made it more difficult for me. So far I have never found my age to be against me. Good luck with your training!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: I passed!!!!!!</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/91968?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Aug 2010 08:42:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d44f84a0-859f-4ecd-917c-bd17312146e2</guid><dc:creator>Honeybadger</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA&amp;quot;]
