Skaraborg Hospital (SkaS) - Nurse for the Hematology Unit in Skövde

Skaraborg Hospital (SkaS) operates in several locations in Skaraborg, including Falköping, Lidköping, Mariestad, and Skövde. We provide specialized healthcare in around thirty specialties and work together for the patient's health throughout life, offering cohesive and secure care. Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect the lives of others. We care about you who make a difference for others, and together we create the workplace of the future.

Description

The Hematology Unit in Skövde consists of both outpatient and inpatient care.

Our unit specializes in caring for patients with various hematological conditions at all stages of life. We take care of patients with acute leukemias and high-grade lymphomas, which involves everything from intensive care to care for patients in the palliative stage. Our clinic includes a large day care operation where we manage several SVF processes. We also treat patients with more chronic hematological diseases.

In Skövde, the entire hematological mission for Skaraborg is handled. To meet future challenges, the unit has been tasked with transitioning care, which means we strive to reduce the need for inpatient care and increase opportunities for alternative forms of care such as home care, digital visits, and increased day care.

To provide the best care for our patients, outpatient and inpatient care work closely together. We are a unit with short decision-making paths and we work flexibly with resources and competencies between the clinic and the ward. We work with integrated staffing, which means that the position includes work in our inpatient ward every fourth weekend, as well as four weeks during the summer. This integration provides opportunities for engagement and participation in developing cooperation between outpatient and inpatient care. Our ambition is to create a sustainable workplace, and we actively work to ensure that everyone has a reasonable workload and a safe and secure working environment. We are proud of our fine unit with high competence and much job satisfaction!

What can we offer you!

We offer a stimulating and varied job with the opportunity to work with advanced medical technology combined with good nursing care. Within the organization, we diagnose, investigate, treat, and follow up on hematological patients. The tasks mainly consist of medical treatments such as chemotherapy, blood and platelet transfusions, and other medication treatments, as well as standard nursing tasks around the patient. The work requires commitment, attentiveness, teamwork skills, and innovative thinking to drive development and patient care forward. As a nurse, you contribute to good care and high-quality care where we focus on patient safety.

We focus on your personal development and offer you both structured introduction and a long-term individual development plan. You will be scheduled for training in chemotherapy handling and eventually for hematology training in Gothenburg (7.5 credits). As a nurse with us, you will experience variation in your daily work over time.

Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed nurse who is interested in working with cancer care. If you have further education and/or experience in hematology or outpatient services, it is an advantage. You are positive, responsible, and strive to develop and grow in your professional role. You develop by using your skills in the team and grow by learning from others' expertise. Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities such as the ability to work independently, flexibility, and interest in working with people in vulnerable life situations. We value the ability to handle different work tempos. As a person, you are trustworthy and have an easy time building good relationships with both colleagues and patients.
