A Day in the Life of an Equine Veterinary Nurse

This video clearly shows what an average day would be like for an equine veterinary nurse apprentice. An equine nurse specialises in all aspects of equestrian medicine and treatments. Vicky, featured in the video, explains how she starts off her day checking up on all the horses in her care. Her responsibilities include feeding, administrating medicines, running reports and tests as well as general duties and assisting other vets.
In the video she administers medicine to a horse who has had surgery.
Vicky then goes on to explain about studying the actual course. This is partially college taught and partially industry based. In order to study an equine course, you will need to also work at a practice in order to complete the amount of training you need to qualify. The course is 2 years long going to college one day a week and working full time the rest of the week.
Vicky discusses the importance of sterile equipment as she enters theatre and then checks on a horse who has been sedated after coming out of theatre. She then helps him stand up with guide ropes. An emergency case is then brought in for Vicky to analyse.
Equine Veterinary courses ultimately train you in becoming a specialist vet. At East Durham college we offer a range of equestrian courses, as well as small animal courses including National Certificates and Horse knowledge and care levels 1 & 2. Head to our website to find out more:
