“I have been in post for almost a year now and I absolutely love my job.
This time last year I didn’t believe that my dream was fast becoming a reality I was a week away from becoming a New Graduate Nurse in my mid 40’s.
Studying during a pandemic especially online was difficult and I was fortunate enough to meet the most amazing people both staff and patients during my various placements.
The reality of actually being a staff nurse is both frightening and incredible making decision’s and being responsible to both the patients that you care for and being part of a team.
I feel so fortunate that I’m working with such a supportive team and have been fully supported by the team that supports the New Graduates.” Tammy MacArtney, Staff Nurse, Raigmore Hospital
