Nurse for Pediatric Surgical Inpatient Ward (BUKIR 4053)

Juliane Marie Centre

Do you want to develop your competences in specialized surgical nursing for children and adolescents?

In the department for hospitalized children and adolescents with surgical diseases in the gastrointestinal and urinary systems (BUKIR 4053) we are seeking a nurse for a permanent position of 32 or 37 hours per week from January 1, 2027. The position includes rotating shifts and work every 3rd weekend in a fixed rotation.

With us you will be part of a highly specialized pediatric surgical ward, where nursing ranges from short postoperative courses to complex and long-term patient pathways. Common to all patient pathways is that the child and their family are at the center, and that the nursing is based on high professional quality, close observation and a strong focus on safety and involvement.

About the department

BUKIR 4053 handles the care and treatment of children and adolescents aged 0-16 years with surgical diseases and congenital malformations in the gastrointestinal system, liver, kidneys, urinary tract and genital organs.

We receive both acute and elective patients and have 24-hour emergency admissions within our specialty.

The department includes both a ward and outpatient functions, which provides varied clinical work and the opportunity to follow the patients through different parts of their pathway.

The nursing with us

Pediatric surgical nursing is complex, relational and technically specialized. Your tasks will include:

• pre- and postoperative nursing
• observation and care of children in specialized surgical pathways
• pain assessment and pain management
• administration of medication and fluid therapy
• care of intravenous access, catheters and postoperative wounds
• instruction and guidance for children, adolescents and parents, including stoma care and parenteral nutrition
• support for families in both short and longer inpatient stays

The work requires clinical overview, technical skills and the ability to create safety for children and their relatives in often vulnerable situations.

Interdisciplinary collaboration

We work closely with pediatric surgeons, anesthesia staff, educators, dietitians, social workers and other partners around the individual child's pathway.

The interdisciplinary collaboration is a prerequisite for the treatment and nursing we wish to offer our patients and families.

Professional development and introduction

We prioritize thorough introduction and competency development.

You will receive an individually tailored onboarding process of about three months with a fixed mentor. During the introduction period you are not included in the staffing norm, so there is time for learning, reflection and sparring.

We work targetedly on professional development through teaching, reflection on practice and ongoing competence development.

Who are you?

We imagine that you

• are a licensed nurse
• have an interest in pediatric nursing and surgical patient pathways
• can work independently while seeking sparring when the situation calls for it
• contribute positively to the community and interdisciplinary collaboration
• are curious to develop new competencies

Experience from pediatrics or surgery is an advantage but not a prerequisite.

What do we offer?

We are about 30 nurses with diverse experiences and competencies. We place great emphasis on a good working environment, professional sparring and helpfulness, and we have a culture where we take responsibility for both patient pathways and each other's well-being.

With us you will have the opportunity to develop within a highly specialized area and at the same time become part of a collegial community with room for both professionalism and humor.
