Common employment – labour market

Nurses in Kristiansand now get an opportunity to work in both hospital and municipality at the same time, dividing working hours on two organisations. In Norway health care is divided in two main parts - the hospitals are organised under central government control, and community care and home nursing care is organised under local government control in a municipality.

Four nurses will be chosen to participate in this new project during spring.

Norwegian Directorate of Health finds the project interesting, and contributes with economical support.
