Are you eager to work with acutely ill children and young people and at the same time be part of a strong professional community? Then we may have the job for you

At the Pediatric and Adolescent Receiving at NOH we are looking for a nurse by December 1, 2026. A nurse who wants an exciting and varied everyday life, where professionalism, collaboration and safety for children and families are in focus. Could it be you?

We receive, stabilize and treat acutely ill children and adolescents from 0-18 years with both medical and abdominal surgical illnesses. We see around 15,000 children and young people per year, so the pace is high and patient flow can be large. It requires overview, professionalism and the ability to stay calm even when it is busy. But you are never alone. You will become part of a team where we help each other, share our knowledge and use each other’s competencies. There is always an opportunity to spar with colleagues, both within one discipline and across disciplines.

Patients are referred from the general practitioner and 1813 and we also receive children by ambulance, both with A and B category transport. This means that you will encounter many different patient pathways and problems during a workday.

We prioritise your professional development

Acutely ill children require high professionalism and a sharp clinical eye. Therefore we have a strong focus on giving you the opportunity to develop your competencies. We do this, among other things, through simulation training, mono-disciplinary training, professional sparring and reflection, triage and safe patient flow, as well as by prioritising our close mono- and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

We work with Fundamentals of Care

The Pediatric and Adolescent Receiving is part of a close collaboration with our three other pediatric units at NOH. Across units we help each other and work together to develop our nursing.

We work with the concept framework Fundamentals of Care (FoC). It gives us a common professional foundation and supports our focus on the individual patient. We aim to create a person-centred nursing where children, young people and their families feel seen, heard and safe when they are in an acute and perhaps insecure situation.

With us you get

• An arranged introduction program
• Planned teaching days for new employees across the Pediatric and Adolescent Department at NOH
• Cross- and mono-disciplinary SIM training
• A strong professional team, including both newly qualified and experienced nurses
• Visible leadership, where the path between employee and manager is short
• A staff group characterized by a lovely work environment and social cohesion

We are looking for you who

• are a trained nurse and have an interest in the acute pediatric area
• thrive in a daily life with high tempo and many different patient pathways
• can keep an overview when it is busy
• want to develop your professional competencies
• actively contribute to a good work community
• see the family as an important part of the child’s or adolescent’s journey

If you can see yourself in the above, we would love to receive your application. If you want to know more or would like to visit the department before applying, please do not hesitate to contact Chief Nurse Caroline Kjæmperud Mikkelsen on 4829 4394
