Information about the title assistant nurse:

As of July 1, 2023, the title assistant nurse became a protected professional title. This means that you will need a certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare to use the title assistant nurse within care and nursing. You can apply for the certificate from July 1, 2023. If you do not have a certificate, you can continue to work in care and nursing, but with a different title than assistant nurse.
