Hi, Suzanne,
Contact the Vetereinary Nursing Department, RCVS, Belgravia House, 62/64 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AF (www.rcvs,org.uk) and you will get all the information you require.
In England Send your C.V and cover letter to all Veterinary Traning Practices (T.P's) in your area- they keep a list of all people interested in training and when a job comes up they ring them all for interviews- finding a good T.P is vital to qualifying. They pay for your training therefore wages are generally low for trainees- bear that in mind.
