Make a Difference. Every Day.

We are looking for new employees to expand our capacity and open more care places in the department.

The surgical area is one of the largest operations at the Central Hospital in Kristianstad and consists of outpatient care with vascular, lower and upper gastrointestinal, as well as breast/plastic patients. We also have an oncology treatment unit, Acute Surgical Department, Surgical Department, Urology and Vascular Department, Gynecology Surgery Ear-Nose-Throat, and Acute Orthopedic Department.

We are an acute surgical care department with varied and eventful days, where variation is a natural part of the work. Here, patients with trauma and acute surgical conditions such as abdominal pain of unclear origin, ileus, appendicitis, gallbladder and pancreatic diseases, bleeding, and infections are cared for. The department offers the opportunity for continuous monitoring, which creates good conditions for safe and professional care of our more care-demanding patients. You will work with both pre- and postoperative care in a dynamic environment where no day is the same. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop a broad surgical competence in close collaboration with doctors and other professionals, and you will become part of an engaged team where patient focus, collaboration, and professionalism are at the center.

To provide nurses with the best possible conditions, there are supportive functions such as a departmental pharmacist, who is responsible for medication management and replenishment, as well as a coordinator during weekdays who coordinates incoming calls and books transports. We also have a SVU coordinator during the day who contributes to safe and secure discharges in collaboration with the municipality. We strive for a good working environment and a well-functioning teamwork where the right competence is used in the right way. Close collaboration with other units ensures that care is always adapted to the patient's needs.

JOB DESCRIPTION

With us in the acute surgical department, you will have an exciting, varied, and developing job with a safe and supportive team behind you. In the department, you will work with acute care, which involves assessment, monitoring, and care of patients with acute surgical conditions. The work includes, in addition to regular nursing tasks, early identification of deterioration, pain relief at various levels, fluid treatment, management of various inputs and outputs, as well as nursing measures based on the patient's current needs, but also with preoperative preparations, postoperative care, and much more exciting tasks. We have well-established routines and always strive to provide patients with the best possible care.

- The best thing about our department is the variety offered but also the acute situations. The department prepares you well to handle these situations, and you can always get support from a colleague. Something I also appreciate is our structure, which makes it clear what is expected of you, says nurse Arta.

In addition to patient work, all employees are involved in the work of developing and improving both care and the working environment in our unit. Our goal is to provide good and safe care and always start from the patient's needs. Through close teamwork and an integrated approach, we complement each other and become stronger as a team.

If you are new in your role as a nurse, there is an opportunity to participate in our clinical foundation year. With us, you will receive an individually tailored introduction program, and experienced employees are available for support, guidance, and training. There are opportunities for education and competence development as well as internships in collaborating operations.

We offer you an exciting and varied job with several development opportunities. We also regularly organize scenario training with different cases and internal training with relevant themes to enhance both individual and collective competence in the department. With us, you will find both challenge and security in an environment where development, teamwork, and care always go hand in hand.

The position involves rotational work during the day and evening. There are also opportunities to work nights once you are comfortable in the role. Weekend work is included, two out of five weekends. The department applies a wish schedule.

QUALIFICATIONS

It is advantageous if you have relevant specialist training and/or previous experience working in a surgical department, but we also welcome you as a newly graduated nurse who wants to develop with us.

Your work is characterized by a high sense of responsibility and flexibility.
