Staff Nurse for the Department of Children and Young People, Inpatient Ward, Hvidovre Hospital

Are you curious by nature, do you thrive in strong communities, and are you motivated by creating the best pathways together with children, young people, families and colleagues?

With us you become part of an engaged and professionally strong team, where we every day collaborate to make a noticeable difference for children, young people and their families. We believe that the best nursing is created in fellowship when we bring our different perspectives and competencies into play, share knowledge and learn from each other.

Pediatrics is a specialty with a wealth of development opportunities and the chance for lifelong learning. Here you will meet a broad variation of patient pathways and problems because the specialty encompasses many other specialties – but with children and young people at the centre.

A everyday life characterized by collaboration and relationships

In our inpatient ward, children and young people who need treatment and care over several days are admitted. This provides an opportunity to build close relationships with both patients and families and to follow them through larger parts of their process.

We have a regional function for children and young people with IBD and also treat patients with, among other things, respiratory, nephro-urological, neurological, infectious and orthopedic-surgical issues.

Collaboration with the family is a natural and important part of daily life. Communication, coordination, counseling and guidance are therefore central competencies in the work, as is the ability to see situations from multiple perspectives and find solutions together with both colleagues and families.

A work environment with room for professional curiosity

With us you are never alone. We prioritise shared reflection, knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary collaboration highly, because we know that it strengthens both professionalism and job satisfaction.

You will become part of a department with

• Regular cross-disciplinary board meetings.
• Weekly nursing professional teaching.
• Interdisciplinary conferences across the department's subspecialties.
• Debriefing and supervision for complex or particularly demanding patient trajectories.
• Mandatory team training in reception and detection of critically ill children and young people.

In teaching and training we work purposefully with communication, collaboration and the latest knowledge within pediatrics. We see learning as something we create together.
