Nurse for the Shared Emergency Reception and after two years of specialized training in acute nursing, Southern Jutland Hospital

The Common Acute Receiving is the entry for all acute patients at the hospital. We receive patients around the clock and ensure professional and caring treatment at a high professional level in all situations.

As a nurse in the Common Acute Receiving, you are a central person in the department's teams. You will be responsible for assessing and caring for acute patients in a professional and empathetic manner. There is always an opportunity for professional sparring with colleagues and specialists, who are available around the clock. There are daily ‘15 professional minutes’ and board meetings, where focus is on professional issues, and where today’s challenges and tasks are allocated. In addition, there is teaching, ethical reflection and interprofessional simulation training.

Our shift planner works to ensure that all staff experience a balance between work life and private life. We are flexible in shift planning and try to accommodate specific wishes, for example fixed days off or a fixed rotation.

At the Common Acute Receiving there is a focus on social relations, and there is a high tolerance for differences. It is a very social department that values collegial interaction both at work and in leisure time. We also place a strong emphasis on the working environment.

The leaders in FAM have physical offices located in the department, which means that there is always management present, and all leaders take part in the clinical work. This creates a sense of community characterized by an informal tone between leaders and staff and makes it easier to maintain an overview when some days are challenged by busy periods.

We offer

• Individual introduction and training with planned status conversations and continuous teaching opportunities in the department. As a newly graduated, you are not included in the staffing norm in the first 2 months.
• Possibility for a fixed evening or night shift if desired.
• An exciting and unpredictable everyday life with professional challenges.
• If you are a trained behandlersygeplejerske (treatment nurse), there is also the possibility to work in the trauma clinics.
