Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic, Högland Hospital in Eksjö

Secure your summer - secure your future! Take the opportunity to broaden your skills and develop as a nurse with us at the Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic in Eksjö!

The Role of the Nurse

As a nurse, you have a holistic view of the patient's complex needs. You are responsible for care, observation, medication, and collaboration regarding patients with varying care needs. We want the patient to be involved in their care, which means that information is a very important part of your work. You take care of the patient in the best way based on the individual's needs and proven experience in medical care.

We work in teams with different professions, and together with other employees, you work for good collaboration within the clinic.

It is not always easy to be new at work, and therefore we do our utmost to ensure that you feel safe, excited, and prepared for your summer job with us.

For those who continue their employment after the summer, we offer you the opportunity to participate in one of Sweden's best introduction and development programs for newly graduated nurses - RIU. The program consists of 20 full days spread over eight months with lectures, internships, and reflections. RIU gives you the opportunity to meet other nurses in the same situation where you exchange experiences and provide each other with advice and support.
