Benefits of working in the nursing service All benefits at UKER

“By accompanying experienced nursing staff on a daily basis and working closely together as a team, our trainee nurses are able to get involved in all areas of patient care and are able to take on responsibility and work independently. We make a point of discussing progress, transparently reflecting together on progress that has been made, and giving trainees the opportunity to expand the skills they have obtained. Designing and coordinating work with our trainees is highly motivating and boosts work satisfaction in our interprofessional team.”

Christiane Plank, ward manager of training ward

“Ranging from standard kidney replacement therapy to complex plasma treatment procedures, we cover the entire spectrum of the blood purification process. Our skills are thanks to our high standard of training. Several of our members of staff have completed various specialized training courses and ongoing training is important for us all. Thanks to the low fluctuation on our ward for several years now, we are a closely-knit team in a class of our own with a considerable degree of professional and personal experience. New colleagues can benefit from our experience and grow together with us in future.”
