Working as an RVN in research

Abstract

Veterinary nurses often shy away from working in a research environment and this article will show that we can have a positive impact on projects. As well as veterinary nursing skills such as handling and restraint, nurses have a lot more to offer such as communication and problem solving to this type of environment. Research can give valuable information into health and welfare of animals and the Feline Healthy Ageing Clinic studies the feline ageing process and looks at interventions that can potentially extend their lifespan
