notes
Anyone know whether the abbreviation in the above "sjuksköterska sjvb" means "where necessary" or does it mean something else?
If I'm right, does anyone who has experience of nursing know the phrase that's used, i.e. that may be better than where necessary?
Examples from Google (spellings not mine): Först som sjvb sen som uska. Jick ett år på sjuksköterske
Två av personalen saknar sjvb/usk .... Tjänstgörande sjuksköterska finns tillgänglig dygnet runt alla dagar i veckan
TIA asap.

: There are two terms in Swedish, undersköterska and (sjuk)vårdbiträde, and it's not clear to me whether nursing assistant is one or the other.

: In Australia it would be an Assistant in Nursing for sjukvårdsbiträde and Enrolled Nurse for undersköterska. Sjuksköterska is Registered Nurse.

Yvonne Tapper-Gardzina
: In the U.S, it's RN, registered nurse and CNA, certified nursing assistant. Sometimes LPNs, licensed practical nurses call themselves nurses, so registered nurse may need to be emphasized.
