Permanent nursing position for the Forensic Psychiatric Ward C

Full-time nursing position for Forensic Psychiatric Ward C

Dear prospective colleague in Ward C

I have applied for new challenges, and therefore my position is now vacant. I have had the pleasure of being part of Ward C both during my internship in the 6th and 7th semester and subsequently as a permanent nurse.

I can promise you that Ward C is a place characterized by high professional standards, great humor and a strong collegial community. Here there is room for professional development, sparring and good laughter in a daily life where we lift together.

It has therefore not been an easy decision to seek new paths, and I will miss both the ward and my wonderful colleagues. I am, however, sure that you will be happy to become part of the team on C!

Best regards, Natascha
