- For the first time, Ribera Povisa incorporates into training graduates who have passed the resident internal nurse (EIR) exam.
- The hospital is also the only Galician private center that offers MIR training for resident doctors and also offers internships to TCAES and nursing graduates.
The Ribera Povisa hospital expands its training offer by incorporating second-year (R2) resident internal nurses (RXNUMX) who, after having passed the EIR exam, will complete their practical preparation in the family and community area by doing their rotation with the case manager of complex chronic patient.
The EIR (Resident Intern Nurse) exam is a competition through which nursing graduates can access a specialist training position in the Spanish national health system, choosing between the following nursing specialties: Gynecology and Obstetrics ( Midwife), Pediatrics, Family and Community, Mental Health and Work. The EIRs carry out their specialized training period for two years in accredited centers belonging to the national health system.

It is a determined commitment to the future and to continue raising the quality of care,” says Cristina Serra, director of nursing at Ribera Povisa.
In future calls, the training offer will be expanded to first-year internal nurses (R1).
