Nurse at the Emergency Department in Skövde

Skaraborg Hospital (SkaS) operates in several locations in Skaraborg, including Falköping, Lidköping, Mariestad, and Skövde. We provide specialist healthcare in about thirty specialties and work together for the patient's health throughout life, offering cohesive and secure care. Every day and every hour, our employees make efforts that impact the lives of others. We care about you who make a difference for others, and together we create the workplace of the future.

Description

The emergency department in Skövde has undergone a significant transformation as we now have a state-of-the-art facility in large, bright premises well-suited for the task! After the new construction, we can call ourselves one of Sweden's largest and most modern emergency departments with a possible flow of about 70,000 patients per year.

A new pediatric emergency unit has been established in the new facility with its own dedicated children's track! A new radiology unit is also located adjacent to the emergency department.

The emergency department in Skövde is one of the region's five trauma hospitals. We handle patients in acute conditions, many of whom are treated directly at the emergency department, while some require continued care or contact with the hospital's various clinics. We receive patients with healthcare needs in medicine, surgery, orthopedics, urology, infection, pediatrics, gynecology, ear/nose/throat, and ophthalmology.

We now see that we need to expand our competent staff group to meet the needs we face.

• Do you like meeting many patients, both children and adults?

Qualifications

We are looking for a licensed nurse with at least one year of professional experience in the role. Experience in emergency care is an advantage. You easily build relationships and convey security to patients during brief encounters. You enjoy working in a team with other professional categories while being independent in your profession. You meet patients, relatives, and colleagues in a trustworthy and respectful manner and have tolerance for differences. You should be flexible and able to quickly switch between different tasks without compromising quality and patient safety. With a positive attitude, you contribute to a good work climate.

Responsibilities

As a nurse in the emergency department, you will work with basic and specific nursing care for patients with acute illness and/or injury requiring specialist healthcare. Since patients' care needs vary greatly from case to case, this provides a broad variation in work but also significant development opportunities for you as a nurse. You work in a team with nursing assistants and doctors at the facility. You constantly engage with many internal and external contacts, such as other units in the hospital, public authorities, and other healthcare providers. As improvement work is an important part of the emergency department's development, it is essential that you, as a nurse, actively participate in this work. This way, you also have the opportunity to influence work methods and your work environment.

As a nurse, you will receive a structured introduction. The advertised positions are full-time and include day, evening, and night shifts.
