Nursing specialist

at the Freiburg site or Bad Krozingen campus, full or part-time

Our vocational qualification in nursing care opens up access to the various fields of nursing care - from acute care to outpatient care and long-term care.

Versatile tasks

Nursing care specialists care for and look after patients of all ages in inpatient and outpatient care settings. Advising, guiding and supporting people and their families in specific care and life situations is the central activity of nursing care professionals. Nurses focus on the individual preferences of those affected and the specifics of the care situation. Their approach is systematic and process-oriented. They are close to the patient due to their daily presence and are therefore an important link between patient and physician.

In nursing care, irregular working hours, shift and weekend work are part of the job.
