Academic Children's Hospital

Small hearts need great care! We are a small hospital in the big world, and it is precisely in the small that our greatness lies. Here, all the expertise a sick child may need is available, along with good collaboration, respect, and care. We offer a great introduction for newcomers and many interesting opportunities for development. There is also unexpectedly much joy in what can sometimes be very difficult. We take care of the children and their families, and we take care of each other – because we know that we do a much better job together!

Our Operations

At the Department of Acute and Specialized Pediatrics, 95 E, we see a need to increase the number of available inpatient care beds. Our goal is to increase from 8 to 12 beds, and therefore we are looking for more nurses.

The Department of Acute and Specialized Pediatrics 95 E is part of the section for acute pediatric care, together with the emergency department for children and adolescents. Since we are in close proximity to each other, there is also the opportunity for rotation between the units. In the department, we care for, treat, and investigate children aged 0-18 years who need a few days of inpatient care. Primarily, we care for children with acute infections and medical diseases, but we are always prepared to care for pediatric patients from other sections as well.

We who work in the section for acute pediatric care are a wonderful team that is passionate about our work. Our multidisciplinary team always has the sick child and family at the center. We value good teamwork and maintain an open and permissive work climate. Patient safety and a professional approach are natural parts of our work, and we place great focus on daily joint training sessions for the section's staff groups. We emphasize that all new employees receive a safe and structured introduction. As a new nurse, you will be offered a clinical supervisor who focuses on supporting you in your individual needs during your first year with us. Reflection after shifts and feedback after difficult patient cases are also highly valued in our operations. Thanks to our various competencies and experiences, we develop and make each other even better in our work with our patients.

As our section focuses on acutely ill pediatric patients and their relatives, there is a significant need for further education and development. Therefore, the section has development leaders and coordinators who work for safety both within the staff group and for visitors.

Your Mission

In department 95E, you will work closely with many different professions such as nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians, and the hospital school. The work involves standard nursing tasks in an acute care department for children and adolescents and offers great variety in terms of difficulty, content, and pace. As patients' conditions can change rapidly, the work is both varied and challenging. Effective teamwork is therefore always a focus.

As a new nurse in 95 E, you will become part of our fantastic team and have the opportunity to grow into your new professional role as we open more care beds!

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a trained nurse, pediatric specialist nurse, or nurse with another relevant specialist education for the operation. Experience in acute pediatric care is an advantage.

Your Skills

We are looking for someone with a strong interest in acute pediatric care and who finds it exciting to learn new things.
