Nurs­ing care of re­l­at­ives

Nursing care of relatives

A nursing case in your family - and the subject suddenly becomes important and urgent. In many families it is a matter of course for the relatives to take over this task. We would like to support you in this phase of life and offer helpful information for the care of relatives.

Important: Students who take care of relatives in need of care can take a semester off for this and still take exams during this time (first and repeat attempts).

Via the HNU intranet you can access the Online Portal for care and health (opens in a new window), which we have set up for you. Here you will find answers to all important questions about nursing care. Practical tips for support and information on important contact points can be found in the collection "Links & Downloads" below.
