Job Advertisement: Nurse for Department 8

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. About 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

Department 8 is a medical department with 28 care places – focused on IMA/specialist medicine.

Three years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern hospital ward buildings. The work has changed as each patient is now cared for in their own room, and the department is equipped with the latest technology in the field.

Department 8 will have 3 places with IMA focus. In these intermediate care places, patients with care and treatment needs that require special monitoring and training, but not intensive care, are cared for. There is a higher staffing density of nursing assistants, nurses, and doctors at these places. You will have great opportunities to encounter many different interesting medical diagnoses within our three departments.

Job Responsibilities and Work Methods

In Department 8, each nurse will be responsible for a maximum of 7 patients, of which 3 places are IMA-focused, and the work is led by two unit managers in a shared leadership. The work in the department is knowledge-intensive, developing, and exciting, and we provide advanced medical care. We work in teams and with person-centered care in teams with nursing assistants, nurses, paramedics, and doctors for the best conditions to utilize each other's competencies. We are looking for nurses for day and evening shifts.
