Together, we are about 60 intensive care nurses and nursing assistants working with us.

We offer

With us, you get a workplace with genuine community and camaraderie. You are offered varied tasks within both intensive care and intermediate care. You will receive an individually tailored introduction and follow-up mentoring support to ensure you feel safe and secure in your role. In the department, we work in teams around the patient consisting of anesthesiologists, medical, surgical, and orthopedic doctors, specialist nurses, nursing assistants, and physiotherapists. There is an opportunity to work in different responsibility groups where we work cross-professionally to develop new routines and update existing routines according to the latest science. We offer annual A-HLR + A-HLR child training, internal training/refresher days, and scenario exercises using patient simulators. We work with individual scheduling at all hours of the day in a 10-week planning cycle. Summer vacations with us are divided into 2 periods.

Job responsibilities

We care for patients with threatening or failing vital parameters. We conduct advanced monitoring and treatment around the clock, such as hemodynamic monitoring and respiratory treatment as well as dialysis. Acute postoperative care occurs at nights and weekends when the operation's postoperative unit is closed.

You work in a high-tech environment with the patient in focus. We who work here take great responsibility for the development of the operation and are divided into responsibility groups based on knowledge and interest. We work with Post-ICU and patient diaries.
