Are you a nurse or specialist nurse with experience in emergency care, intermediate care, and/or other relevant specialties? Come and work with us in a stimulating and exciting workplace with safe and competent colleagues.

Apply and become part of our team at IMA, an intermediate care department with the patient in focus!

You are offered

• a stimulating and developing workplace with safe, competent colleagues as well as individually tailored introduction and mentorship programs
• work in a cross-professional and team-based environment with regular reflection and collegial support
• opportunities for professional development through internal training, further education, and networks for operational development
• the opportunity to initiate and drive development projects within nursing
• several career paths, including clinical development, leadership, research, education, and specialist positions for specialist nurses.

Of course, you will also benefit from the general benefits that Karolinska University Hospital offers you.

About the position

In intermediate care, patients with failure in one or more organs are cared for, who need a higher level of care and monitoring but do not fully require intensive care. Patients may have both medical and surgical diagnoses, so you will need to use your entire skill set to meet and provide good care to the patient in often complex situations. The work is varied and involves a high pace, immediate actions, quick decisions, and you need to have the capacity to reassess the plan as treatment goals change.

We work to ensure the patient's needs for basic and advanced nursing. Common tasks include handling central lines and arterial needles for invasive blood pressure and blood gases, medication management with potent drugs such as vasopressors and sedation, drainage, advanced pain management, advanced wound care, tracheostomy care, and respiratory support treatments such as Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV).

As a specialist nurse, there is also the opportunity for clinical development assignments where you primarily work clinically but have 10% administrative work. Together with other specialist nurses with the same assignment, you are part of a larger collaboration working on care development, both within your own nursing area and within the hospital. IMA at Karolinska is at the forefront of developing and quality assuring intermediate care as a level of care and operation.

We are looking for someone who

• is positive, driven, and genuinely interested in nursing, with the patient as an obvious part of the team
• can adapt to the patient's needs and changing goals and meet new situations with flexibility
• is responsible and engaged, with a desire to develop within advanced emergency care and intermediate care
• actively seeks new knowledge and applies it in practice to contribute to operational development
• is confident in themselves and flexible in a changing everyday life, with the ability to plan, prioritize, and act independently.

Qualifications

Requirements:

Licensed nurse with at least 2 years of clinical experience or a Specialist Nurse degree in a relevant area for the operation, as well as real and formal competence according to at least competence level step 1 according to the Stockholm region's competence ladder for specialist nurses.

Desirable:

• Experience in emergency care, intermediate care, and/or intensive care
• Experience in surgical nursing
• Experience in participating in and/or driving project work
• Mentorship training.
