Our Operations

All job roles within geriatrics have one thing in common: it is meaningful, exciting, and developing to work in the field of geriatrics (VO geriatrik). Our tools are science and proven experience, and we have the combined resources of Akademiska sjukhuset at our disposal. We dare to try new paths, and our driving force is to make a difference for our patients every day. We are constantly working on improvements and have developed new working methods for geriatrics where the patient is placed at the center and the competence of all professions is utilized.

Thanks to advances in medicine, care, and living habits, we are living longer, which brings new demands on healthcare. We encounter a larger patient group and new challenges. The patients we meet carry a whole life in their backpack, often with multiple diseases and perhaps a complex health situation.

30A is now looking for more substitutes for the summer. In this ad, we are addressing nursing students from semester 4 who want to work as nursing assistants this summer and medical students from semester 9 who want to work as junior doctors with nursing tasks.

The purpose of the recruitment is to strengthen staffing for the summer.

Your Mission

Nursing Assistants

Nursing students who have completed and passed semester 4. Nursing assistants are employed with the position of aide. Tasks that the nursing assistant can work with include standard nursing assistant duties as well as assisting a licensed nurse in their work. The nursing assistant always works under the supervision of a licensed nurse. Examples of possible tasks under supervision include admission of planned/emergency patients, discharge conversations, documentation in Cosmic, sampling, participating in rounds, coordination functions, performing risk assessments and actions, IV placement, EKG. Other possible tasks that must always be checked and signed by a licensed nurse include medication management, such as mixing drips and administering medications. If necessary, one also works with nursing assistant tasks on the ward.

Junior Doctors with Nursing Tasks

Medical students can be employed to perform certain selected tasks that usually do not fall within the medical role. The requirement is that the junior doctor has passed semester 9 and has studied and been approved in the subject and the exams corresponding to the subject/specialty within the employing field. Junior doctors with nursing tasks are employed with the position of doctor, not licensed. It is a requirement that you have previously worked as a nursing assistant during your education, which provides a greater understanding of what nursing work entails. Examples of possible tasks include preparing and administering medications; tablets, infusions, and injections, blood cultures, IV placement, NEWS checks, managing and changing central lines, placing catheters, taking EKGs, preparing and administering inhalations, taking venous samples, placing feeding tubes, administering medications via feeding tubes, distributing medications before discharge, and restocking medication carts if the pharmacist is not on duty, participating in basic nursing. If necessary, one also works with nursing assistant tasks on the ward. In this role, you do not work with junior doctor tasks.

Your Qualifications

You are a nursing student from semester 4 or a medical student from semester 9. You have good knowledge and skills in basic nursing. The variation in work means that you should be flexible, responsible, and able to adapt to acute situations and be willing to step in where needed. You also have good computer skills, and it is an advantage if you are familiar with the Cosmic journal system. You enjoy working with elderly people, have a good attitude, and possess strong collaboration skills. You are also an engaged and positive colleague who contributes to a good work environment. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities.
