“Being a nurse in the municipality means I get to combine the best of different worlds. With one patient, I provide acute care with IV drips and antibiotics, with another I assess after a fall. One patient is palliative, and there I have many family conversations and contacts with the palliative team. I conduct training for the care staff on a disease condition that is not previously known. I round with my doctor and have gathered questions I need help with based on the patients' health status. I often follow my patients for a long time, which allows us to build relationships; this makes my assessments easier when I know the patient and promotes good and safe care,” says Sofia, a nurse in Karlshamn Municipality.
