The RCVS Academy has launched a new course which aims to give newly-registered veterinary nurses consistent, meaningful and personalised support during the transition from student to RVN.

‘RVN Starting out’ takes around 10 hours to complete and is free to access at: https://academy.rcvs.org.uk/ 

 VN Futures Project Manager, Jill Macdonald, said: “Our RVN Starting Out course has been created to support adapting to professional responsibility, optimising workplace learning opportunities and working effectively as part of a team.

"The course also assists newly-registered nurses with building confidence and considering their career development.

"We have included learning on key areas such as reflective practice, workplace culture, quality improvement, clinical decision-making and assertive communication to reflect the responsibilities that veterinary nurses now undertake."

“The course is delivered over six modules which can be completed individually and accessed at any time to fit around busy work schedules.”
