The nursing profession
The care service is always aimed at the unique individual. It is oriented towards the needs of people. Nursing works independently, i.e. it supports people according to its own scientific findings and on its own responsibility.
Care is always teamwork! We work together with our own and other professional groups in order to achieve the best possible support for people.
Nursing draws its knowledge from many sciences. Knowledge is required, for example, from nursing science, the natural sciences and medicine, but also from the fields of psychology, sociology and education, ethics and law. These subjects are taught to acquire skills for the field of work against the background of requirements from the practical field.
Care also requires a willingness to work with technical equipment.
