Independent responsibility and part of the team

Monika Detlefsen, a German nurse at Herlev Hospital.

Monika Detlefsen, nurse at Herlev Hospital

Why did you choose exactly this job and this specialty?

Because I love my job and I always look for new challenges. In Germany I have only worked in a surgical intensive unit. Now I work in a medical department, which is virtually a new area for me.

What aspects would you point out as favourable at your hospital and department if you were to tell about it to a new colleague?

I started out with eight German colleagues here at Herlev, and we were well received. In my department I had a 12-week introductory period. All my colleagues were and are very patient with me, for instance when I cannot find the correct Danish word or expression (particularly after a night shift). I find it very positive that I may chip in with my experiences from Germany. I have much more responsibility and I feel more like a ”team member” than I did in Germany.
