ABSTRACT:

Travelling – something some people only dream of one day doing. Work commitments being one of the major hold backs for most, it is easy to forget that this industry we work in has a worldwide need and our skills are completely transferable in almost every country.

This short article aims to inspire and advise other veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses on the options available to work, or volunteer abroad and how and where to do it.
