Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to work in a highly specialized department focused on the patient? Then apply to us at the cardiology ward and the cardiac intensive care unit (HIA)!

Many of our staff have extensive experience in cardiac intensive care, and with this solid expertise, we are ready to welcome both experienced and newly graduated nursing colleagues. The department has both cardiac intensive care beds, cardiac beds, and elective operations. The cardiology department in Helsingborg has the acute assignment for northwestern Skåne.

With us, patients with acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, severe heart failure, and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias are cared for. HIA is a highly specialized department where we care for patients who are complex from both a medical and nursing perspective. In the department, we perform, among other things, exercise tests, electrical cardioversion, transesophageal ultrasound, and twice a week we have pacemaker insertions. Some staff with special expertise have certain shifts scheduled in coronary angiography (PCI). The staff who staff the cardiac intensive care unit are part of the team that responds to life-threatening conditions in the hospital.

We work for a good working environment and continuous professional development. Both management and staff take responsibility for each other and for their work environment.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The department currently has a total of 22 beds. We are in an expansion phase and therefore look forward to welcoming more nurses to us.

As a nurse in the cardiology ward/HIA, you will work in a team together with a nursing assistant and a doctor. In our cardiac beds, you will be responsible for about six patients, and in our cardiac intensive care beds, three nurses work on about eight beds. We offer you a varied job focusing on cardiac patients. Your tasks include, among other things, arrhythmia interpretation, interpretation of EKGs sent in from ambulance services, medication management, nursing work, and rounds.

With us, you will receive various professional development initiatives in the form of external and internal training. For us, education is an important part, which is why you will also undergo mandatory A-CPR training with scenario training once or twice a year. As a new employee with us, you will receive thorough orientation with theory and practical guidance, with the goal of making you feel secure and comfortable in our unit. We customize your training based on your previous experiences and offer an introduction lasting between four and seven weeks. If you are a newly graduated nurse, you will also participate in Region Skåne's clinical foundation year. After some time with us, you will be just as comfortable receiving a patient directly from the ambulance stretcher with an ongoing heart attack as performing meticulous specialized nursing for a highly unstable heart failure patient awaiting heart transplantation.

With us, you have excellent opportunities to develop and deepen your knowledge in cardiac care, and we apply a salary-generating competency ladder, where you will receive new challenging tasks after internal training.
