Inpatient care with heart and mind

Our nursing staff is the largest group of professionals in the Schüchtermann-Klinik, and they are in constant touch and most intensive contact with our patients. Consequently, the satisfaction and the wellbeing of our patients depend to a considerable extent on how personally and empathetically the nursing care is given. High-performance medicine becomes wholistic and humane only, if the patient is not just reduced to his or her clinical picture but is seen as an individual and treated correspondingly. Our nursing staff is prepared to be measured against this assertion.

On the other hand, humane competence alone will not achieve excellent nursing services. In a highly engineered medical environment the nursing expert qualification is a decisive success factor. That is why we always employ highly skilled and accordingly registered nurses. Our nursing staff has a comprehensive range of additional qualifications and continuously participates in advanced professional training.

Inpatient care with a target and a concept

"When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind!“ Accordingly, the nursing care in the Schüchtermann-Klinik follows a determined nursing process, which defines the individual nursing targets for each patient and identifies the proper nursing measures. The nursing process of the Schüchtermann-Klinik begins as early as on admission of the patient and comprises in particular:

• nursing history on admission
• specification of the nursing targets
• scheduling of the nursing measures
• basic and treatment nursing
• nursing documentation
• evaluation of the nursing success
• nursing transition on discharge

In selected fields we pay nursing visits which intend - comparable to the round made by the physicians - to agree with the patient on the ongoing nursing process.

An essential general nursing target of the Schüchtermann-Klinik is to restore the independence and autonomy of the patient as soon as possible. In close cooperation with the therapeutical services of the hospital the patient-activating nursing service contributes to the patient being quickly mobilised thus avoiding any complications.

To achieve a uniformly high nursing quality in the course of the nursing process, the nursing measures are defined and documented as nursing standards. Our hopital's nursing standards, which are elaborated and implemented by our nursing standards working group, are based, among others, on the Germany-wide applicable nursing expert standards of the DNQP (Deutsches Netzwerk für Qualitätsentwicklung in der Pflege, German network for quality development in nursing).

Inpatient care with opportunities and perspectives

The nursing activities in the Schüchtermann-Klinik provide many opportunities. Nurses are working in all medical Speciality Divisions so that the scope of activities and responsibility is correspondingly multifaceted and diversified. To promote the further qualification of our nurses we offer - partly in cooperation with other hospitals - the following advanced training options:

• advanced professional training for nursing staff in the intensive and anaesthetic care
• advanced professional training for operating theatre staff / technical surgical assistants
• advanced professional training for the medium-level management area
• advanced training as a practical instructor
• in-house further and advanced training programme

Particularly qualified nurses of the Schüchtermann-Klinik have been further trained over the past years to enable them to take over specific medical assistant jobs. As medical assistants they can now support the teams of physicians or they take out veins during a bypass surgery when working as an surgical assistant. The new vocational fields open up additional professional perspectives for motivated nurses .

Your direct contact person for information on the advanced professional training for operating theatre staff and on the occupation of an surgical assistant is Mrs. Carola Abrahamson (05424/ 641- 30029). For particulars regarding the tasks of a medical assistant please contact Mr. Kay Benter (05424/ 641- 30151).
