INTENSIVE NURSING AT THE UMM
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
People in an intensive nursing unit require 24-hour monitoring of vital parameters. It is often necessary to support individual or several organ systems with equipment. We are the ones who monitor and assess the vital signs. We are the ones who control the devices without which survival would no longer be possible. With intensive nursing, we are closer to the patient than anyone else.
In intensive nursing medicine, everything is always planned with the utmost precision, even if everything almost always turns out quite differently in the end. The Department of Intensive Nursing in Mannheim is made up of four pillars: the surgical intensive nursing unit of the Clinic for Anesthesiology (32-3), the neurosurgical-anesthesiological intensive nursing unit of the Clinic for Neurosurgery (32-2), the surgical recovery ward (36-4/37-4) and the internal intensive nursing unit (10-4/11-4). On all of these wards, we are able to admit patients with a wide range of illnesses requiring monitoring and intensive nursing 24 hours a day. In addition, these wards provide intra-hospital emergency nursing for the entire UMM with the possibility of immediate transfer of emergency patients.

Diversity and expertise
Intensive care in Mannheim is characterized by its multifaceted nature and broad expertise. Nursing staff in all areas have acquired specialist knowledge in their fields in order to provide the best possible care. In order to be able to provide this in the future, special emphasis is placed on further training, and the UMM has had its own specialist training for anaesthesia and intensive care for decades.
We shape university intensive care medicine in treatment and research, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Head of the surgical intensive care unit:
"I have a great team at the clinic"
Our daily work involves a lot of stress and is often a constant battle against the clock. I respect every member of our team who takes on this task. From the cleaner to the senior doctor. Motivating the nursing staff every day or getting them excited about this work is sometimes a mammoth task. Especially after an ongoing marathon like the COVID period has given us. Ms. Löhlein and I try to create a working atmosphere with high expectations of professional competence but also with fun and ease. I don't think anyone comes to work here because of the money or the great working conditions - they come and stay with us if the team is right. Our work can be done in many other clinics and you can even earn more money than a nurse. So - we try to create an atmosphere on the ward through development and team building, in which the employees not only have fun at work, but can also be proud of their work. We are a university hospital and therefore belong in the national league of patient care with medical technology and advanced intensive care medicine. So staff development is also one of the important tasks we have as management - otherwise there is uncertainty and fear. Caring for patients in unstable health conditions can also be very frightening. That's why it's important for us that our staff are not only well looked after and trained, but also learn team spirit at the same time. Hence my motto "You never walk alone".

MAXIMILLIAN WANTS TO ACHIEVE A LOT
As a child, Maximillian Ruppert wanted to be a stuntman. Today, he is studying nursing science and is head of the intensive care unit 32-2 at Mannheim University Hospital.
After completing his training, he first trained in early neurological rehabilitation and then immediately and specifically chose to work in the intensive care unit at the UMM.
He would like to train a deputy ward manager to take over when he moves on, as his own journey is far from over.
Because he still has a lot planned, he is currently putting his private life on the back burner and is very confident about the future.
He would like to have a career and sees opportunities for advancement from department head to nursing director.
With his motto "development", nothing should stand in his way.

VIRTUAL REALITIES IN EMERGENCY CARE
the proof of the pudding is in the eating
... or in other words: "Practice is all". In a 24-hour emergency training course, the training participants (m/f/d) practice how to behave in extreme situations. Every move has to be right and communication must leave no room for interpretation. What is said must be understood immediately and directly; because at the end of the "said - done" chain, a human life is at stake in an emergency.
This video gives an insight into such training in situations that characterize everyday working life in an intensive care unit. We are looking for colleagues (m/f/d) who can cope with this kind of pressure.
