"It was my experience at Abertay that gave me the confidence to try different things and the drive to apply for jobs which might not necessarily have seemed achievable."Leah Hosie | Abertay University | Lecturer
My career path thus far has been varied and it was my experience at Abertay that gave me the confidence to try different things and the drive to apply for jobs which might not necessarily have seemed achievable. I had a senior band six role on secondment within nine months of qualifying and it was Abertay that provided the knowledge and skill set for me to feel able to do that. Being a registered nurse opens many doors and provides many options, but it's the experience you have as a student nurse that provides the motivation and the determination to be able to make the most of these opportunities.
I was lucky enough to be taught by staff who were all enthusiastic and knowledgeable. However, special mention should go to Linda Wood for her very memorable clinical skills sessions, and to Robin Ion and Kate Janik-Smith, who were both incredibly supportive when I decided to pursue a Masters by Research in Mental Health at Abertay. I completed this in early 2018 and I couldn't have done it without them.
If you're thinking about studying at Abertay, be open to new ideas and feel confident in knowing that the University will provide a solid foundation for any kind of nursing role that appeals.
