Are you a nurse ready to make a difference in acute care nursing – where it all starts?

As several of our nurses are in happy circumstances, we are seeking new nurses for AVA.

In the Acute Admissions Section (AVA) we receive both referred and non-referred patients with acute issues - around the clock. This means that, as nurses, we work at the crossroads between structured care pathways and sudden conditions that require rapid assessment, clinical overview and high professional standards. It is a everyday where no shift is the same - and where we as teams continuously prioritize and adapt the care to match the patient’s current needs.

With us, professionalism and values go hand in hand. We work purposefully to provide excellent nursing care - meaning that every day we strive to deliver high-quality nursing based on the best available knowledge and with a focus on what is important for the patient. We emphasize seeing the whole person and creating security in a situation that is often uncertain.

As part of Sygehus Lillebælt we work from the value 'The patient first'. It obliges - and inspires us to constantly ask the question: How do we do the best for the patient - right now? It is a common ambition that permeates our approach to care, collaboration and development.

As a nurse in AVA you help receive patients who are either admitted to acute admission or come directly and non-referred with symptoms within internal medicine, cardiology, otology or urology. This requires your ability to create security at the first encounter, assess quickly and act wisely - while collaborating closely with colleagues and doctors to ensure an efficient and targeted course. You will become part of a strong staff group with high professionalism and lots of energy, and your efforts have direct impact on the patients’ further course.

What do we offer you?

• An varied and meaningful work life: You will become part of a department in development, where we continuously work on improving our workflows and patient pathways. Working with both referred and non-referred patients requires overview, flexibility and collaboration - and gives you the opportunity to use your entire nursing toolbox.
• A thorough and personal introduction: We meet you where you are. You receive an individual onboarding process with fixed mentors who follow you closely. You get plenty of time to get into the tasks and the department, and we continuously evaluate your development so you feel secure and equipped for the task.
• Monthly mini-sims and simulation training: We know that acute situations require training. Therefore we offer monthly simulation training in realistic scenarios - both in mono-disciplinary and interdisciplinary sessions, and with different approaches. Here you have the opportunity to strengthen your decisiveness and reflection in a safe learning environment.
• A strong multiprofessional collaboration: You will work closely with doctors, physiotherapists and other professional groups. Our approach is characterized by openness, respect and high professionalism - and we share the responsibility for giving the patient the best possible treatment.
• A social and supportive work environment: With us, job satisfaction is not just something we talk about - it is something we create together. We have a light mood, are ready with a helping hand, and take care of each other, both in and outside the rush. We believe that good relationships and respect for each other’s differences are the foundation for a well-functioning workplace.
• Flexibility and work-life balance: Through the Wish Plan you have the opportunity to influence your shift schedule so that work fits with life outside the hospital. We know that job satisfaction also includes balance.

We are looking for you who

• Has professional interest in - and preferably experience with - the acute and medical specialty
• Can remain calm and think clearly in pressurized situations
• Wants to take responsibility for both your own and the department’s professional development
• Contributes positively to the work environment and meets patients and colleagues with respect
• Is flexible and thrives in an ever-changing daily life
• Dares to ask questions, is curious and open to feedback - and can pass it on in a proper way

Are you ready to take the next step? We hope you want to be part of our department - and contribute to developing the future acute patient pathways. You are very welcome to contact our chief nurse for questions or a non-binding tour.
