Our Operations

The Endocrine Oncology Department is a unit within the area of blood and tumor diseases located in the 100-building. The department currently has 17 beds on weekdays and 12 beds on weekends. Here, you will have a varied job where you can combine nursing with some acute care that may arise in connection with treatments. The department has close cooperation with other departments/clinics within our area of operations.

Some of the most common oncological endocrinological diagnoses are neuroendocrine tumors (NET), neuroendocrine cancer (NEC), and thyroid cancer. These are treated with targeted radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy/immunotherapy. The most common oncological diagnosis we have is lymphoma, where our specialty is CAR-T treatment, which is a treatment where the patient's own T-cells are genetically modified to attack the cancer. We strive for continuous development and are part of the highly specialized cancer care. Here, you will work with medical technology, including central and peripheral access, chemotherapy, and immunotherapies. You will work in an environment with a high density of nurses, experienced doctors, and nursing assistants. We work together as a team.

Your Mission

You will work together in a care team with a nursing assistant, where you are responsible for the care of the patients. It is an exciting job where you will meet people at many different stages of their illness. We primarily work with investigation and treatment. In the investigation of a patient, the work consists largely of taking medical history, clinical assessment, sampling, and preparations for examinations. We handle central access and perform many insertions of peripheral access here. We have many patients coming from other parts of Sweden as well as Europe. Our treatment patients regularly come for infusion treatments such as chemotherapy/immunotherapy, and as a nurse, you will focus on monitoring and medical technology. Specifically for 100A, we also provide various forms of targeted radiation therapy and advanced oncological treatment with CAR-T. You will also be part of a skilled team that supports and helps each other while you will work independently.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed nurse. You may be completely new to the profession or have worked as a nurse for a longer time.
