Job Advertisement: Nurse for Surgical Ward 2

The Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3000 employees work with us every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare of the highest quality.

About Surgical Ward 2

Surgical Ward 2 is a general surgical care department that is part of the Surgery and Orthopedics operation. In 2020, we moved into Sweden's most modern hospital ward buildings. The new ward has 28 single-patient rooms designed so that each team of nurses, nursing assistants, paramedics, and doctors has a good working environment with modern technology that provides excellent conditions for delivering patient-safe, person-centered care together with patients and their relatives.

We primarily investigate and treat patients with acute surgical diseases in the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract, traumatic surgical injuries, and urological issues. We receive both acutely ill patients, patients coming for planned surgery, and patients requiring palliative care.

We work in teams that collaborate closely with various healthcare professionals. We have a close partnership with the pain team, mobile palliative team, dietitian, and local healthcare team.

Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed nurse who has an interest in working in surgical emergency care. Experience in surgical and/or palliative care is an advantage.

Conditions

The employment covers all hours of the day, but for this position, we are currently seeking a nurse who only wants to work nights.

Welcome to us!
