Subject area
Nursing


Subject area description
In nursing, students study the knowledge about health, living a good life despite disease and/or disability and having a peaceful and dignified passing. Nursing emanates from needs and problems related to health and ill-health and daily life, but also from people’s resources and abilities to cope with problems. Ill-health/disease/disability do not per se form the focus in nursing, rather it is about people’s reactions and interpretations of their disease. The core in nursing is about a close relation between the nurse, patient and close family and friends.


Job assignments
The position is based in the section for The Life Context and Health Promotion. The successful candidate will be teaching mainly first cycle students and nurses in training to become specialist psychiatry nurses. When needed the activities may be conducted in collaboration with other sections at the Institute.

Further you will be expected to supervise first cycle students when they are writing their dissertations, perform administrative tasks related to the educational activities such as publish/update course information, communicate with students and to report results in various digital systems.
Teaching and summative assessments are performed both independently and in collaboration with other teachers.
The position involves active work towards achieving the Institute’s goals and operational plan, including among other things an active contribution towards the development of the academic environment in the section’s Complete Academic Environment (KAM).
