Hi there, I know that this is probably in the wrong section, but I was really hoping that you would be able to answer a couple of my questions? I am currently at university studying english literature, however, I have recently decided that my love of animals is far to great for me to ignore my passion, and so after I graduate I wish to train as a veterinary nurse. I will be 22 when I graduate, and so I realise that I have wasted quite a lot of time, and I was wondering if this matters? I have all the necessary academic requirement to gain entry to a VNC, and over the next year I hope to gain as much experience as I can within veterinary practices and rescue centres. However, until now, the only experience that I have had with animals is looking after my own and those of friends and family. Do practices generally prefer younger student nurses? I was also wondering whether having an english literature degree will prevent me from getting a placement or a job because of the fact that it has nothing to do with veterinary science?
Thankyou in advance for any help you can give me,
Charley
