Our nursing school comes fully equipped with practical spaces to refine essential skills, such as drawing blood, administering medication and bandaging. Recently our first-year students have been practicing their bandaging skills. Morris, the model horse, is a great patient and stands still whilst he has a carpal bandage applied! Student Veterinary Nurses are encouraged to practice their skills in real life practice during their working week, whilst supervised by an RVN.
A career in veterinary nursing can be so rewarding! โจ

WHAT DOES AN REVN DO?
RCVS registered equine veterinary nurses (REVN) are an important part of the veterinary team in many equine veterinary practices and hospitals. REVNโs provide expert care and treatment for sick and injured horses, ponies and donkeys. They are responsible for confidently handling, feeding, grooming, hand walking, and monitoring inpatients in hospitals. They can also prepare and assist with surgery, monitor anaesthesia, and perform minor procedures such as suturing wounds.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ to the seven students who have graduated from VetPartners Equine Nursing School, after achieving a 100% pass rate in their final exams.

At VetPartners Nursing School, our aim is to provide the best education in equine nursing, through our clinical excellence and passion for teaching.
Thinking of becoming an equine veterinary nurse?
Equine nurses are an essential part of the team in equine veterinary hospitals and practices.
The nursesโ roles and responsibilities are diverse and varied.
Nurses are responsible for the day-to-day care and monitoring of the inpatients. They assist the veterinary surgeons with a range of procedures including diagnostic imaging (eg scintigraphy, radiology, magnetic resonance imaging). Preparation of horses for surgery and other veterinary procedures (eg diagnostic analgesia or ultrasound scanning ) is important to ensure that the horse is clean and ready.
Nurses have an important role to play in theatre โ their role includes preparation, packing and sterilizing of surgical kits, cleaning and ensuring strict biosecurity in the operating theatre and assisting the vets in positioning horses on the table. Nurses will frequently be called upon to scrub in to assist the surgeon.
Cleanliness and biosecurity is essential in a veterinary hospital and nurses play an essential role in ensuring that all areas are kept clean and tidy.
Being an equine veterinary nurse is a challenging job that includes long and unsociable working hours. The job is very varied and working with animals , helping to nurse a sick or injured horse back to health and working as part of a large team can be very rewarding.
Good veterinary nurses are passionate, hard-working and dedicated to horses. Communication and working as part of a team are key skills to have as well as having the confidence to work independently with sometimes little supervision.
