Vacant job

We want to give you the best possible start in your new career as a nurse and lay the foundation for your future development, which is why we offer you a unique introduction and the opportunity to safely transition into your role.

The SÄS introduction for newly graduated nurses is based on the strengthened professional introduction from the Västra Götaland Region, Clinical Basic Year. However, at SÄS, we are unique in that our introduction also builds on the following five fundamental conditions:

• Independent work with your own professional responsibility as a licensed nurse
• Tailored tasks and workload
• Support from an experienced nurse
• Education and clinical training
• Reflection

About the service introduction in the care unit
Do you, as a nurse, want a safe and developing start to your professional life in a permanent position with us at SÄS?

The SÄS introduction for newly graduated nurses lasts for one year and begins with a 12-week introduction schedule. The introduction schedule means that you share a schedule with an experienced nurse. You perform independent tasks based on your individual development plan with tasks and workload tailored to you, giving you the opportunity to gradually ramp up and grow into your new role. At each shift, we ensure that there is an appointed experienced colleague available so that you can ask questions and receive support. This person is called the question person. At the end of your 12 weeks with the introduction schedule, an assessment is made regarding the need for continued support based on individual development. In addition, you will also receive mentoring time with an experienced nurse to develop within your specialty area and in your new role.

For the remainder of your first year, you will work independently in your care unit while participating in an educational program with other newly graduated nurses at SÄS. The educational program constitutes 15% of your working time; read more about the content of the educational program here.

After one year, you will have completed your introduction and acquired relevant knowledge and necessary skills to feel secure as a nurse in your continued employment in your care unit.
