Information about the title "Assistant Nurse"

You can apply for the certificate through the National Board of Health and Welfare. If you do not have a certificate, you can continue to work within healthcare and social care, but with a different title than assistant nurse. At Region Gävleborg, this means the title in your employment contract will be "care assistant" (omvårdnadsassistent) until your certificate is submitted.
