Nurse for Endocrinology Inpatient Ward

We are a well-functioning ward with 20 beds, with a safe, good working environment and a busy daily life. We are a staff group where several have many years of experience – so there is a possibility for good backup, as a newly graduated or if you are new to the specialty.

We offer

For us, good nursing is about creating good patient pathways, where the individual patient's wishes and needs are central to care and treatment of a high professional quality. To strengthen our work with this, we are seeking a professionally and clinically strong nurse who is passionate about medical nursing in close interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration.

The department receives around-the-clock acute medical patients mainly from AKM, with endocrinological and/or general medical diseases.

We see the younger patient with newly discovered diabetes, possibly in ketoacidosis, the dysregulated diabetes patient with late complications – diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic kidney failure and neuropathy.

Thyrotoxicosis-, Myxedema-, Addison’s and Osteoporosis patients are typically followed in our outpatient clinic, but with acute deterioration in the disease these patients are admitted to the bed ward.

In the more general medical area, we see patients with pain issues, the acute patient with infection, patients with electrolyte disturbances, the chronically ill patient with complex medical problems and cancer patients under investigation/treatment as well as in the palliative course.

In connection with these often complex courses, close interdisciplinary collaboration across other departments, primary care sector and with the patient's relatives is required to create the best possible course for the patient.
