RVN calls fellow nurses to complete survey
Opinions of RCVS sought for study

A registered vet nurse (RVN) is calling vet nurses to give their opinions of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) for a study.

Amber Reynolds has decided to poll both listed vet nurses (LVNs) and RVNs during the final year of her veterinary nursing degree, to hear what they think of the college.

The survey comprises 20 questions that ask nurses what areas have most influenced their feelings about the college, and whether they feel the college makes positive and progressive democratic decisions about VN issues.

"Our profession has changed a lot in recent years and I am interested in finding out to what extent qualified VNs have been involved with these changes," said Amber.

"I'm looking to find out people's attitudes to the RCVS and see if we can get a better understanding of the profession’s feelings for its regulator - I know this is similar to work the college has started doing itself now.

“I have come across nurses who may not fully understand what the college does and I've had various opinions come in from nurses about the RCVS, both positive and negative."


Amber's survey comes just after the RCVS itself has called members of the veterinary profession to give feedback about the way it regulates. Click here to complete the RCVS's survey.
