The first subject Nursing the Veterinary Patient is all about monitoring your hospitalised patients and is there to give you a solid basis in general nursing procedures prior to moving into the more advanced subjects, setting you up for success. Following on from this, you will study Physical Therapy where you will learn what techniques you can use as a nurse, and how to put together a treatment plan for your patients in consultation with the vet.

Pain Management is next, and covers pain pathways, medications, and the non-pharmacological interventions nurses are able to implement. Rounding out the theoretical component of your course is Advanced Critical Care Nursing care where you will learn about nursing procedures from feeding tubes to recumbent patients. You will learn about developing nursing care plans and come out knowing how to provide the best nursing care you can.
