Job Responsibilities We are looking for you, our new nursing colleague, who wants to work in acute care and care for geriatric patients!

Our patients come to us mainly through the emergency department or are transferred from the hospital's acute medical ward. As a nurse with us, you are responsible for and lead nursing care work, which with us often consists of specific nursing interventions. These interventions can be either curative or palliative. The medical aspect is also a large part of the work and consists, in addition to medication administration and various medical-technical procedures, of being able to interpret the patient's various symptoms and parameters.
