Kate White | NHS Tayside | Mental Health Nurse

Abertay was very important in helping me pursue my career. Without the invaluable support and knowledge of the Abertay nursing lecturers, completing this degree would not have been possible. Abertay University is a creative, educational and supportive learning environment, which caters to those from all walks of life. University isn’t without its challenges but Abertay makes it that much easier.

I graduated with a first class honours degree in Mental Health Nursing, whilst also being awarded the NHS Tayside Board prize for achieving the highest overall grades. Since graduating I’ve been working full time in a mental health hospital while pursuing a degree in mental health research.

My current job involves working with a specialised dementia unit caring for people with dementia who display challenging and complex behavioural needs, providing unconditional positive regard and support to those who need it most and their loved ones.

In the future, I'd like to do a PhD and get into lecturing.
