Subject

Nursing.

Subject Description

Within the discipline of nursing, knowledge is developed about health, a good life despite illness or disability, and about peaceful and dignified death. Nursing is based on needs and problems related to health and illness and daily life, but also on people's resources and ability to manage problems. In nursing, it is not illness/disability itself that is the focus, but people's reactions and interpretations of their illness. Central to nursing is a close relationship between nurse, patient, and relatives.

Job Responsibilities

The job responsibilities include, in a pedagogical and structured manner, planning, teaching, examining, and evaluating clinical skills, simulation-based teaching, and inter-professional learning for the department's programs, as well as continuously working on pedagogical development. Additionally, the position includes having methodological responsibility and course responsibility in courses at the department where teaching at KTC is conducted. Due to the clinical nature of the teaching, parts of the job responsibilities can advantageously be placed within healthcare through collaboration agreements to maintain clinical competence and to stay updated on the clinical aspects of teaching. Teaching and supervision may also be relevant in other sections of the department, as well as joint assignments such as supervising thesis work and being a contact teacher during clinical placements. The work is carried out in close collaboration with course responsible teachers, clinically active supervisors, teaching assistants, and other staff at KTC. Administrative tasks related to educational activities are included. Other tasks may also occur, and the content of the position may change over time.

The position includes actively working to achieve the department's goals and operational plans, which includes actively contributing to the development of the academic environment.
