message

hard! But fun! Welcome on the road to nursing. In nursing, there are some knowledge and skills that can be used immediately after learning, but there are also many things that can only be understood after years or even decades. Even if you don't like studying, study for the rest of your life. I give lectures and practical training with a feeling of support so that the start of learning goes well. In maternal nursing, the focus is on support related to pregnancy and childbirth, but we also want to be able to provide support that also takes into account the subsequent child-rearing and family health.
