VN Practical Exam results published
The pass lists for this year's practical examinations for Veterinary Nursing qualifications have been published. MRCVS.co.uk would like to extend our congratulations to all those who have passed.
Of the 237 candidates attempting the new Level 3 Diploma practical exams (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations or OSCEs), 165 candidates passed. Accordingly, the pass rate is 70%. Many candidates passed by a clear margin, and a third of candidates achieved success in ten or more of the 12 exam stations when the pass line was eight stations.
Those students who sat the old-style NVQ Level 3 practical exams also achieved excellent results. Of 62 candidates, 49 were successful. The pass rate is therefore 79%, which is the highest pass rate in recent times.
Welcoming the news, Head of the RCVS Veterinary Nursing Department Libby Earle said “Congratulations to all those who were successful – and to the colleges and practices whose support has been vital to these students’ success. It is good to see VN students doing so well and particularly under the new Level 3 Diploma, since it is only the second time these practical examinations have been held.”
Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.
