"Working with premature babies is fun and varied work. Care periods range from a few hours to several months. Parents and siblings play an important role in the care. I appreciate the combination of supporting parents in their parenting with working in more acute situations, for example in the delivery room or operating room, in close collaboration with doctors, midwives, and other professionals" – pediatric nurse at Neo.
