Watch the video to learn more about practical nurse Miska's work at Kotipalvelu Mehiläinen.
A practical nurse wakes the customer up in the morning. Helps to dress and take care of hygiene. Takes the customer for a walk, to breakfast, or watch TV. All this is done while taking care of the cleanliness and safety of the environment. This special care is especially needed when the customer's ability to take care of themselves is hampered.
Read about three other themes related to the work of a practical nurse and you can also find open positions for practical nurses.
The practical nurse is literally close to the person they care for and you can give small part of ruoself to the customers in each encounter. It is rewarding and meaningful work in which we meet people genuinely and make life worth living. Mehiläinen offers Finland's most comprehensive and flexible job opportunities for practical nurses and students.
Sometimes we catch up and talk. Sometimes we just listen. A practical nurse knows the needs of the customers and understands them. Friendships are often made too.
The daily work of a practical nurse includes, among other things, recording, organising and arranging reports, but also challenging situations and decisions that require prioritisation, for which you will receive the necessary training and support from your supervisor and team.
A practical nurse closely monitors the health of the customers and also performs treatment measures such as wound care and rehabilitation. The work is responsible and requires precision and knowledge, but it is also very rewarding.
