WORK EXPERIENCE

I work as a specialized nurse. I have been working as a nurse since 1996. My special expertise as a nurse is reflected in my multidisciplinary skills. I have worked in several specialized areas: at Iisalmi Hospital Internal medicine department, in the emergency room, and finally as the head nurse of the surgical outpatient clinic. Additionally, I established a hematology outpatient clinic there. At Kuopio University Hospital, I worked for three years in the Hematology department. After being invited to lead the outpatient clinic on the private side at IteLasaretti, now known as Pihlajalinna Ite, I established a cardiology outpatient clinic service there.
