Nurses from Leeds Beckett and the University of Leeds are making the step up to Aspirant Nurse early this month in the wake of the current worldwide crisis. Here, we celebrate and hear from those who are starting work for the Leeds Community Heathcare NHS Trust now instead of September.

Joining the frontline has been both exciting and nerve racking! This is a chance to make a difference and use my training, skills and strengths in order to help people." | jpimedia

If youd have asked me in March I would have said I feel nervous about joining the frontline, but having a placement in the hospital prior to this I feel honoured that Ive had this opportunity to step up to support." | jpimedia
12. Dannielle Dobb
I was anxious about joining the frontline but we have been well-supported. The transition from student nurse to aspirant nurse is going to be a challenge but will put us in good stead for when we qualify in September this year." | jpimedia
