Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic, Värnamo Hospital

Do you want to ease into your profession as a newly graduated nurse with an assisting role? Here at the Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic, we tailor your tasks according to your wishes during a short- or long-term substitute position this summer. We look forward to meeting you and planning a summer together where you can grow into your professional role with the right support and security.

The Role of the Nurse

As a summer substitute nurse, your work will involve participating in planning, leading, and organizing nursing care together with the patient and other professionals, but without having the overall responsibility for the patient and their care. We work individually tailored with the patient in focus.

The work is varied and stimulating, where one day is not like the other. As a nurse, you will develop through multifaceted tasks that the broad medical acute care entails.

We know that it is not always easy to be new on the job, and therefore we do our utmost to ensure that you feel safe, excited, and prepared for your summer job with us. Being new on the job can sometimes feel challenging, and that is why we want to give you the best possible start. We ensure that you feel secure, inspired, and ready for your summer job, with an introduction tailored to your knowledge and experiences.

The Summer Jobs are Fixed-Term Full-Time Positions

Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends. We need substitute nurses during weeks 24-32. It is an advantage if you can work many of - or all - the weeks. We view positively if you have the opportunity to shadow during the spring.

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

Your Future Workplace

The Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic is the largest clinic at Värnamo Hospital with many services under one roof. We have three inpatient care units with different focuses on medical specialties. The clinic also has outpatient care where medical day care and the dialysis unit are included. Our outpatient services encompass all medical specialties.

Our facilities are well-planned and modern, and we work with the patient in focus. Here, you will work alongside both experienced colleagues and new employees, all with great commitment.
