Whilst you are waiting for your NPL log-in, it is advised to keep a written or electronic record of all skills that have been demonstrated, demonstrated back and are being practiced with dates, case references etc.
Once you gain access to your NPL you will be able to use the next available case to open the skill and sign it off. This could potentially be done in the same day providing you have sufficient, valid evidence in your written/electronic record to support this when audited by either CAW staff or the awarding body.
Only experience/evidence gathered when enrolled as a student veterinary nurse with the RCVS can be used therefore once your RCVS enrolment comes through we will know how far back this evidence can be used.
If you require further clarification please speak to Leonie Briggs, Vicky Foster, Allison Smith, Tori Thornton or Sharon Wiggs who will be more than happy to help.
