The patients and nursing

Nursing is characterized by close observations in acute situations combined with great variation in nursing-related problems, symptom relief and prevention of complications. Guiding and discussions with patients and relatives based on their changed life situation constitutes a significant part of nursing.

The long-term courses also involve planning and coordination with involvement of many parties. Finally, administration of the specialized medical cancer treatment is a large and central task.
