Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Ryhov County Hospital

A summer job with us means securing both your own and someone else's summer. Welcome to apply to us at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry!

The Role of the Nurse

An important part of your work as a nurse with us is to see the patient, to be present, activate, motivate, and observe. To meet the patient where they are and to create a picture of the person, in order to ultimately offer the right support and treatment measures. Parents are an important part of the child's life, and collaboration and contact with them are also of great importance in daily work. We work with contact person assignments. Each patient has a nurse and caregiver as contact persons.

Your Future Workplace
