"I’d had regrets about not pursuing a career in veterinary nursing when I was younger. After a after a long career with NHS Blood and Transplant, I considered it too late to change my world, and a bit crazy at my age! However, with lots of encouragement and support, I took the plunge. With help from the college before I started the course, I was interviewed and offered a training placement at Cromwell Veterinary Group in Huntingdon.
I was keen to fit in and be a helpful and useful member of the practice as quickly as possible. The whole team have been amazing. I have not only been accepted and welcomed, I have been supported, encouraged, and provided with training from knowledgeable and skilful professionals who have animal welfare at the heart of all they do.
I consider myself very lucky to have had this second career opportunity, and now have no regrets at all… except perhaps to have had the courage to have done this earlier!"
