I became a qualified RANA at 21 years of age. I am now 48 and although I am working, I would like to get back into the profession. I have not practised as a nurse for 20 years now, as I gave up because hours were unsociable to bring up my family.
I realise that things have changed now. Would I have to start as a veterinary assistant again? I guess that I would have to do another refresher course to re-confirm my qualification. I am not really wanting to re-train but just get back to doing something which has always been a passion. What hourly rates could I expect to achieve as a starting point. I am looking in the west midlands/staffordshire. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as not knowing where to start!
Many Thanks
Jane

Hi, you do not need ro re-take any exams but you are best to re-register with the RCVS. You will need your original certificate/letter saying you passed your exam and they can enter you on th register. Just mention to any prospective employers that you have been out of the field for so long
