&lt;p&gt;I hope no Veterinary NURSE (VN ) would consider applying-again a good reason to have veterinary nurse a protected title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The advert should have read &amp;quot;domestic / kennel maid required &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nothing wrong with calling them trainee nursing assistants if they assist with nursing tasks. Perhaps there should be more formal recognition of the title Nursing Assistant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I cannot see anything wrong with QVN applying for the job if it suits him or her. A vet version of Hugh Grant or Kate Moss may live there after all!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Housekeeper and a VNA!!!

&lt;p&gt;sorry - re read that - not a live in job, that would make a difference&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I should think, for the right candidate, that some space could be found in the attic.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(A few years ago, whilst visiting some ex-pat&amp;nbsp;friends in Jakarta, we were horrified to find that the live-in maid, in a house with at least three spare bedrooms, was expected to live on a camp bed in the corner of a junk-filled garage. They&amp;#39;re not friends any longer).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most telling thing is that the advertiser fully expects non-EU nationals to be applying, in the face of a huge surplus of aspirant SVNs; a good argument for protection of the title and duties of the veterinary nurse, if ever there was one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are Fulham and Chelsea quite posh places?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Housekeeper and a VNA!!!
