Both experienced nurses and newly graduated nurses are welcome, as the hospital values breadth of knowledge and experience in the team. The ward is a 19-bed internal medicine department for patients with acute and chronic internal medicine problems who require admission to hospital and fall under general internal medicine, and nursing tasks on the ward are highly varied.
