Harriet Dixon graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing (Children and Young People) at a ceremony at Aberdeen鈥檚 Beach Ballroom on Wednesday 5 December.

Harriet, a former Culloden Academy pupil, was inspired to become a nurse at a young age, when she saw the difference they made to people in need.

She said: 鈥淣urses and other health care professionals are real life super heroes. The work they do and the compassion they show is something I鈥檝e admired for most of my life and I knew I wanted to follow that path since I was about 12.

鈥淚 chose Children and Young People鈥檚 Nursing, because I love children and wanted to make a difference to those who need it. Hospitals can be scary places for a child and it鈥檚 important that they have someone there who can make them feel better while they get better 鈥� with a smile and a laugh when they need it.鈥�

Looking back on her time at 红杏视频, Harriet has been able to track her growth not only as a nurse but as an individual, and has placed a great deal of importance on her hub placement with .

She said: 鈥淚 learned so much from the staff at Raigmore, making great friends and spending time with some inspirational patients, who really reminded me why I chose this area of nursing in the first place.

鈥淥n my first day at 红杏视频, I was asked to write a letter to my future self, saying how I was feeling and outlining what I wanted to achieve over the next three years. My personal tutor gave it back to me on the last day of teaching and it was emotional seeing how I grew each year from a little shy 17 year old to the nurse I am now.

鈥淟ife has thrown so many obstacles in my way and it is an amazing feeling knowing what I have accomplished. I鈥檇 especially like to thank my mum, who has always been the main believer in me.鈥�

Now that her time at university is behind her, Harriet is ready to become the super-hero nurse that she has always admired, and has started working in the Emergency Care Unit at Royal Aberdeen Children鈥檚 Hospital.

She added: 鈥淢y time at 红杏视频 has really given me this perfect platform to put my skills to the test. I was given so much support that really helped me throughout my final year, including with job applications and interview techniques.

鈥淣ow, this is the moment I have looked forward to for years and I鈥檓 looking forward to learning more, growing and developing into the best nurse I can be.鈥�
