The Neurological Clinic is a clinic that values development, education, and innovation. We know that working as a nurse can sometimes be challenging, and therefore we work hard to provide our nurses with support, both in their daily work and in the long term. We are very attentive to the students who do their clinical placements (VFU) at the clinic and strive for all nurses to have supervisor training. The main supervisors are very active in the department and have won the VFU award.

Job Description

In department B181, you will work with both the somatic and psychological aspects of patients' diagnoses, as diseases of the brain and nervous system affect both of these areas. You will work with both acute care and palliative care and rehabilitation. Since patients have significant care needs, you have the opportunity to truly become an expert in nursing, your profession's specialty area. You will train your clinical eye as our patients' conditions can deteriorate rapidly, and you will gain valuable medical experience and knowledge.

The neurology on-call team is stationed at the university hospital even at night, which provides a short response time when needed and is a great reassurance for you as a nurse. You will always have a nursing colleague to collaborate with, and the department has a relatively high staffing of nursing assistants related to the patients' care needs.

Introduction and continuing education take place during the day. We believe that an individually tailored start leads to a secure employee. Over the years, we have gradually developed our introduction program, which includes the ProAct course and a mentorship program during the first year of employment. We also offer a Clinical Foundation Year to all our newly graduated nurses.

Work Group

There are seven lead nurses at the clinic. Their task is to drive specific processes from a nursing perspective and to act as mentors and knowledge support to less experienced colleagues. This gives the clinic good conditions for development and support for new employees. The clinic has about 170 employees.

About You

You have a nursing degree. Experience in neurology, acute care, and/or monitoring care is an advantage. You have a good command of Swedish in both spoken and written form.

As a person, you take responsibility and can easily adapt to changing circumstances. It is important that you can work in a structured manner and prioritize your efforts. You also have good collaborative skills.
