How to get value of an list-object

Hi,
I have a cck-content type and want to get the text of a cck-list-object in computed-field.
The field I want to populate is a nodereference field.
I have no problems to get the ID of the referenced node from the cck-nodereferenece-field but can't manage to get the displayed text / value.
Putting this code in the code-section works fine

$node_field[0]['value'] = $node->field_patientenbezug['0']['nid'];

displaying it with

$display = $node_field_item['view'];

But this returns the nid of the referenced node and I need the displayed text (the title of the referenced node).
Neither

$node_field[0]['value'] = $node->field_patientenbezug['0']['view'];

nor

$node_field[0]['value'] = $node->field_patientenbezug['0']['value'];

works

Output is empty ;-(

What is wrong here? Any tipps?

Kind regards

Kai
