NURSING UMM_THINK

Welcome to

RAYK OEMUS DIEHL

We are delighted to welcome the new Director of Nursing, Rayk Oemus-Diehl, to Mannheim University Hospital. On May 15, he will take over from Yvonne Dintelmann and from now on head the nursing and functional area in our hospital.

A NEW JOB

MORE VOCATION THAN PROFESSION

This is the headline of the initiative of German university hospitals looking for people with an extraordinary, even "wacky" personality.
Anyone who "signs on" to an intensive care unit accepts a challenge; and from then on, this is a daily challenge, as it comes "free of charge in intensive care" as part of the workload.

So, if you enjoy learning new things and are helpful and empathetic, that's a good start. After all, it's always about people, their fates and the best possible chance of recovery. Support us in our daily work - apply now.
We are hiring.

CLIP! THE SECOND - INTERPROFESSIONAL TRAINING STATIONS UMM

Our second training station:

Interprofessional training wards are areas that are embedded in existing wards and are run by trainees from the various professional groups in a hospital. In addition to nursing, this also includes, for example, doctors in their practical year, physiotherapists or other professional groups. Together they practise independent ward operations and are guided by experienced practical instructors.
The core idea is to use interprofessionalism and supervised self-organization to optimally prepare all professional groups involved for the day-to-day work ahead, to present all facets of patient treatment as clearly as possible, to better understand and implement the connection between theory and practice and to practice and promote communication between the professional groups. The aim is to ensure the highest quality of patient treatment through an optimal learning situation and to promote cooperation within the therapeutic team.
The interprofessional training wards are usually run under real conditions with real patients and a normal ward routine. The nursing trainees are accompanied throughout by a permanent team of central practice instructors. Find out how this has been implemented at the UMM so far and what the new surgical training ward looks like!

CENTRAL PRACTICAL INSTRUCTORS ... coordinate and supplement the hours of instruction to be provided in consultation with the decentralized PAs and the ward managers. They combine theoretical and practical skills and are responsible for the quality of trai

DECENTRALIZED PRACTICAL INSTRUCTORS ... are part of the ward teams in the respective department and gradually introduce the trainees to their professional tasks. As professionals, they are the first point of contact for trainees at their place of work

PRACTICAL NURSING TRAINING | ... acts as a link between theoretical training and everyday professional practice, through nursing staff on the individual specialist wards, the decentralized PAs and the central full-time ZPAs

NURSING IS ...

If you ask nursing professionals what nursing is, there is no simple, to-the-point answer. The answers are usually complex.

Listener | contact person and important contact person for the patient
Observer | Expert in patient observation: collecting and summarizing information and identifying risks
Partner in patient treatment | Initial assessment of symptoms with transmission to the doctor, implementation of therapies
Advocate for the patient | Supporter in determining the patient's presumed wishes
Expert | Determination, planning and implementation of nursing needs, including nursing concepts
Colleague | Collaboration in the therapeutic team - together for the patient
Advisor | Guidance and advice for patients and their relatives is an important part of nursing care and is becoming increasingly important
Nursing scientist | young research community, findings are growing and increasingly conquering nursing practice
Nursing managers | take responsibility for employees, encourage and challenge them - employee orientation and entrepreneurial action are not always easy to combine
Organizational developer | continuous further development of structures and processes in the responsible area, process orientation from the patient's perspective is the main focus

Incredible - Compassionate - Courageous

FURTHER EDUCATION

An important goal at the UMM is the development of our employees. A wide range of further and advanced training courses promotes a learning organization.

CINESTHETICS

Touch and movement play a major role in patient care. The way in which movement is experienced has an influence on joint work.

AROMATHERAPY (IN NURSING)

Aroma care complements the patient's therapy by increasing their sense of well-being. Calming and invigorating oils help to positively influence the success of treatment in many situations.

PALLIATIVE CARE

The rules of palliative care emphasize palliative treatment concepts such as active observation to control pain, shortness of breath or anxiety.

It goes UMM you

TEAMWORK IS IMPORTANT

The UMM team doesn't just include the "white area" - it includes all of the clinic's employees. From the cleaner to the technician, the therapist, the administrator, the nurse, the doctors and many more. In nursing management, we at UMM are concerned with the nursing team in cooperation with other professional groups and UMM is concerned with each individual employee. On the wards and in the departments, the focus is on the team spirit of the therapeutic team, UMM working together to achieve the best result for the patient.

We communicate at eye level. There are always days when we do not succeed immediately - in this case we address the situation to UMM to learn from it and to continuously develop our clinic!

Become part of our team - we want to learn from each other and help you to develop and grow together with us.
