from Denmark:

DVNU - the Danish Veterinary Nurses´ Union - is a trade union and an association for Danish veterinary nurses and student nurses.

We are very internationally oriented and we are involved in VETNNET www.vetnnet.com and ACOVENE www.acovene.com Also, we are starting up a cooperation between the Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

I am the president of the union. My name is Yvonne Thomsen. I am a veterinary nurse. I have worked in the veterinary business for 10 years, and now I am employed by the DVNU. My personal e-mail address is yth@forbundet.dk

The official e-mail address of the DVNU is vf@forbundet.dk

Besides myself, we have 6 other board members, who are all practicing veterinary nurses. Furthermore, we have appointed a very well travelled veterinary nurse to be responsible for our international relations. Her name is Vibeke Dahl Clausen vf@forbundet.dk

Vibeke and I like to spend our holidays visiting vet.nurses and technicians abroad. If anyone is interested in coming to Denmark and experiencing what veterinary nursing is like here, we would be happy to show them our places of work and give them advice on where to stay and so on.
