"After working as a nurse for 8 years, I was ready for a new challenge and I found it in the specialization for recovery nurse. This turned out to be a bullseye: what an educational and interesting training, challenging role and incredibly nice and warm team. During my training, I was incredibly well guided both at school and in my work by the Clinical Instructors. I am very happy that I took the step."
