Job Advertisement: Nurse for the Emergency Department

The work in the emergency department is varied, exciting, and educational; here we have a good community and joy at work! In this role, you will have a stimulating job and in the long run, you may be sponsored to pursue Specialist Training in Emergency Care.

Job Responsibilities

As a nurse with us, you will work with a unique patient range - from newborns to people at the end of life. Working within our organization will involve personal development as you encounter many different types of situations where you use both your medical knowledge and life experience.

You will work in a team with doctors and nursing assistants regarding assessment, prioritization, and care of severely ill patients.

Your Introduction

You will receive training in one clinic at a time, and when you are confident in one clinic, you will move on to the next. When you start, you will begin in one of our clinics: surgery/medicine/orthopedics and stay there for about 2-4 months.

Once you are familiar with all three clinics, you will be trained to receive patients in 36B (infection entrance) and work in triage with an initial assessment. After that, you will proceed to alarms. Before alarm placement, there is both alarm training and TNCC (trauma care) to help prepare you for the task.

We also have a position referred to as Frontnurse who sits at the reception and makes an initial assessment of where the patient should seek care. There, one can sort into the various emergency clinics but also refer further to, for example, primary care or other clinics.

About the Workplace

Working in the Emergency Department means broad skills development as you meet patients across many different specialties. Last year, we received approximately 58,000 patients for medical visits, of which 2,500 came in on alarms.

Our largest patient groups are in medicine/infection, surgery, and orthopedics. During on-call hours, we also have patients from smaller clinics such as ophthalmology, otolaryngology, gynecology, and maxillofacial surgery.

Our trauma unit is one of the largest in the country and receives trauma cases around the clock. We also have alarm teams for surgical, medical, orthopedic, infection, and pediatric patients.

For us, it is important that you feel good and enjoy your job; therefore, we offer you:

• A wonderful mix of both new and experienced nurses and nursing assistants who care for each other and our shared work environment. We celebrate successes and develop the department to meet the future. Our present leadership is based on seeing each person at their level and growing from their own conditions.
• Customized introduction program to ensure you feel secure and confident in your professional role
• Opportunities for skills development through, for example, internal training
• A workplace for different stages of life, with the possibility of flexible working hours within certain frameworks
• Free training at our fully equipped gym
• Health promotion allowance of 3000 SEK/year

As a person, you have a knack for seeing what needs to be done and act accordingly with the patient's best interest in focus. You have good self-awareness, are confident in yourself, and can distinguish between the personal and professional in your interactions with others.
