Hi, I'm planing on going gown the college and practical training route to become a veterinary nurse.
I'm looking to contact RCVS approved centres to take me on as a trainee, but I'm having problems writing a covering letter that will sell my skills.
Mostly I want to be able to say that I am aware of the realities of the job and that I dont just think its about playing with cuddly animals

You are quite right. Vets are fed up with applicants who say' I want to be a vet
( nurse) because I love animals".That is only a part, and a small part, of it
Try to be original.
