Nurse for Ward 3 at Kungälv Hospital

The Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

Hello! We welcome you as an experienced and skilled nurse to become part of our team on Ward 3 at Kungälv Hospital. We are a dedicated team that focuses on the patient and is keen to support each other.

We are looking for someone with experience working in a care ward and who can quickly adapt to our working methods. We look forward to the knowledge you can contribute and hope you will share your expertise with your colleagues on the ward.

We are the orthopedic and surgical department at Kungälv Hospital, located in our beautiful facilities on the second floor.

More about us

Five years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern ward buildings. The department has 28 beds divided into four teams with seven patients in each team, where all patients have their own room including a bathroom. The environment is fresh and easy to work in. The department focuses on broad orthopedic and surgical care, both acute and planned. We care for patients with acute conditions following trauma, accidents, and illness. Patients with infections and pain issues are also treated in the department. From Monday to Friday, one of our teams is dedicated to elective orthopedic patients who have received new shoulder, knee, or hip prostheses.

Our goal is to continuously develop and improve our operations and to strive to become even better in terms of patient safety, patient satisfaction, and working environment.

We care about having a good working climate, a safe environment, and close collaboration on both good and less good days. Your future colleagues are a wonderful group who are caring towards patients, relatives, and each other, and together we make the ward a place where everyone should thrive.

Job Responsibilities

As a nurse with us, you will have the opportunity to work broadly within both orthopedics and surgery - and you will play an important role in our change and improvement work. You will work closely with nursing assistants, doctors, paramedics, and medical secretaries on a daily basis.

What can we offer?

We work days, evenings, and weekends with competent and wonderful colleagues. The work is varied and challenging; no day is the same!

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced licensed nurse who has an interest in working in orthopedics and surgery. You enjoy challenges, have the ability to make quick decisions, and can handle acute situations calmly and methodically. For you, good teamwork, joy in working in a group, and a good attitude towards both patients and colleagues are a given. It is also important that you can work independently.

Working in a care ward is teamwork, and we place great emphasis on personal suitability. We hope that you want to become our new colleague!
