Do you want to be there when life is at its most vulnerable?

We are seeking a nurse for Medical Diseases, Cancer Diseases inpatient ward in Sønderborg.

We have received an expansion to strengthen local palliative advisory options for the primary sector, therefore we are seeking a nurse with start 01.12.26. The position is by default 37 hours per week.

We are staffed for 14 beds. 2 for oncological patients and 12 for palliative patients; when there is space we also accept general medical patients.

Our palliative patients who are terminally registered are admitted directly to the department with complex problems such as: nausea, pain, dyspnea, constipation or social issues.

The oncological beds are intended for patients in oncological treatment with a need for admission for example due to side effects of chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

In daily practice we have close collaboration with the department's physiotherapists, occupational therapists and discharge coordinators. In addition, some of our closest partners are Team for Palliative Care, Oncological Outpatient Clinic and Hospice Sønderjylland in Haderslev.

We place a high value on interdisciplinary collaboration. Every day there is a morning meeting with the department's doctors, where today's patients, ward rounds are prioritized and planned. The department's permanent staff consists of doctors and nurses as well as social and health care assistants. The atmosphere in the department is pleasant and calm, even if we can be busy.
