Intensive Care Nurse for the Anesthesiology Department, SUH, Roskilde

Intensive care nurse sought – use your specialist training, gain influence and help shape the future intensive care unit

Are you a specially trained intensive care nurse, and are you motivated by close nursing of critically ill patients, complex patient pathways and a strong professional community?

At the Intensive Unit in Roskilde you get the opportunity to use your specialist training and experience – both close to the critically ill patient and in developing our professional practice, workflows and the upcoming joint intensive care unit in Køge.

We are facing exciting years. In January 2028 we move to Køge, where the intensive care units in Roskilde and Køge will be gathered under one roof in a new intensive care unit with 16 ICU rooms. As a specially trained intensive care nurse you get a rare opportunity to influence the professional, organizational and practical solutions in the future intensive care unit.

Use your specialist training – and help shape the development of the intensive care area

With us the specially trained intensive care nurse is an important professional resource.

You will have the opportunity to put your competencies into play through clinical development, teaching, guidance and participation in professional working groups.

We prioritize professional reflection, including through FSB days, where experienced nurses together with our development nurse work with concrete patient pathways and development of intensive nursing. In addition we offer ongoing further education and skills development.

Be part of shaping the future intensive care unit

The merger between the intensive care units in Roskilde and Køge gives the opportunity to participate in developing an intensive unit - not only physically, but also professionally and organizationally.

The new framework with single rooms creates many benefits for patients and relatives, but also sets new demands on how we organize care and treatment. How do we ensure presence and patient safety? How can we use technology in the best possible way? How do we organize the staff and cooperation around the patients?

These are questions we must find answers to together, and here the experience and perspectives of intensive care nurses will be decisive.

The new framework also makes a strong interdisciplinary collaboration even more important. Good patient pathways are created in close interaction between nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social and health care assistants and other professional groups around the patient. Therefore we prioritize collaboration highly, for example we hold two times a year interprofessional staff meetings together with doctors and we already now work closely across Roskilde and Køge with, among other things, joint working groups.

Who are we?

At the Intensive Unit in Roskilde we treat critically ill patients from, among others, neurology, cardiology, urology and medical specialties. The unit has 6 ICU beds, and more than 70% of the nurses are specially trained in intensive nursing.

We place emphasis on a strong professional and collegial community, where we help each other, share knowledge and develop together – even when patient pathways are complex.
