As a nurse with us, you will work with the acute phase of care in the stroke process and the management of patients admitted to the ward. Our GOA patients (geriatric orthopedic ward) are being prepared for – or have just undergone a hip operation and have a significant need for care on the ward.

As a summer substitute with us, we can offer you the opportunity to work around the clock with nursing assistants and nursing colleagues. You will also work together with doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and dietitians to best meet the patient's needs.

All patients are cared for in their own rooms equipped with the latest technology in the field. Here, we actively work to ensure that all employees from different professions are offered the best conditions to utilize each other's and the patients' resources and competencies. The ward is equipped with an advanced patient call system that contributes to a quiet care environment.
