Operating Room Nurse at NU Healthcare

NU Healthcare is part of the Västra Götaland Region and is one of Sweden's larger county hospitals. We are located at NÄL (Norra Älvsborg County Hospital) in Trollhättan and Uddevalla Hospital. The hospital's catchment area includes 280,000 residents. Together, we are about 5,000 employees who work every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare. We are located on the west coast, and our area offers varied nature with both sea, mountains, forests, and lakes.

About Us

The operating department at NÄL is one of the three units of the AnOpIVA clinic. The others are the operating department at Uddevalla Hospital and the intensive care unit at NÄL. We facilitate surgeries and treatments primarily in surgery, orthopedics, gynecology/obstetrics, and ear-nose-throat. The operation runs 24/7, with an even distribution between elective and emergency cases. We offer many colleagues, and the facilities are state-of-the-art with the latest technology and equipment. Working hours are adapted to the operations with individual schedules.

About You

As an operating room nurse, you are an important player in the surgical team alongside the surgeon, anesthesiologist, nursing assistant, and anesthetist. Your focus is on good care and high patient safety for the patient you are currently taking care of, but also a conscious flow thinking where you and the team have a plan for upcoming patients.

You enjoy working at a varied pace where challenging and demanding situations are a natural part.

About Us and You Together

Depending on your previous experience, we will create a plan for your introduction where you get to know the department and gradually build independence. We offer opportunities for education and have a dialogue about your interests in what you want to develop. The operating departments at NÄL and Uddevalla have a close collaboration, and we see great benefits in rotation services between the departments, so if you are interested in that, we will do our best to accommodate it. We expect a partnership where you contribute to creating a good culture at work.
