Paramedic Nurse
Paramedic Nurse – an expert in acute health care
As a Paramedic Nurse, you will help trauma patients or people who suddenly fall ill and need urgent care, both in and out of the hospital. You recognise and anticipate situations threatening the patient's life, and know how to act as the situation requires. In addition to alert tasks, your job will include non-urgent care: examining patients, mapping situations, and planning follow-up care.
The work of a paramedic nurse requires pressure tolerance and the readiness to act consistently even in difficult and unexpected situations. In addition, good physical and mental workability is required at work.
Theoretical studies are in English. During your studies, you will learn Finnish. Finnish and English languages are used in clinical training.
