Our starting point is the meeting with the patient. We are now looking for a new colleague who is passionate about teamwork with each patient's unique circumstances and personal goals in focus. We are an inpatient department for patients with orthopedic diagnoses who require additional care and rehabilitation following, for example, trauma, fractures, or joint replacement surgery. Hospital stays typically last between seven and ten days and are adapted to patients' needs. We have twelve patient beds on the unit, divided between two teams with six patients in each team. Teamwork is central to the department, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the patient, individually tailored interventions, and enhanced patient safety. We focus on healthy work schedules and working hours, developmental team rounds, patient-centered care, daily management, and more. We work to streamline discharges and actively collaborate with our colleagues at the rest of the hospital, Academic Hospital, and in the municipalities. Your Assignment As a registered nurse with us, you hold a key role in the team. In addition to the usual nursing responsibilities, you will also: • Conduct motivating conversations with patients. • Participate in patient care and rehabilitation. • Lead morning rounds. • Assess incoming referrals. Coordinate with other professionals at the hospital as needed. Your Qualifications We are looking for a registered nurse. We prioritize candidates with experience working in a hospital setting. You appreciate varied work, want to have a say in and develop our operations, and are an engaged and positive colleague who contributes to a good work environment. If you enjoy working in teams based on a patient-centered approach where the patient is actively involved in their care and rehabilitation, we warmly encourage you to apply.
