I recently re-trained as a healthcare professional (occupational therapist) and have realised it is not for me due to the lack of role clarity / definition. Currently work in NHS.
I'm thinking of re-training again. I have always loved animals. I wanted to be a vet when I was younger but knew I wouldn't be able to meet the academic requirements.
I'm a very practical person, not squemish, don't mind cleaning, good with customers and physically fit.
I have two children at school, am London based.
Has anyone ever re-trained as a vet nurse? Do you work as a vet nurse? Would you recommend it? What are the downsides? I realise the pay is not great.
How might I go about it? I would need to earn whilst training.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you.
