Cardiology Nurse at Heart Department C4

In Region Gotland, you can develop and grow, both as an individual and together with others. When you work with us, you contribute to making Gotland an even better place for people in all walks of life. We make each other better.

Cardiology/HIA

The Heart Department C4 belongs to the internal medicine area, which also includes the medicine department, stroke department, and geriatrics department.

C4 has two medical teams and three nursing teams. The Heart Department C4 has 15 patient beds, all with private care spaces. Two of these 15 beds are HIA rooms. There is cardiac monitoring for all patient rooms, arrhythmia or ischemia monitoring.

The most common diagnoses are acute coronary syndrome (ACS), cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, postoperative care after CABG and pacemaker implants, as well as pulmonary embolism. Inpatients are evaluated for ACS, and we have a good collaboration with Nya Karolinska in Solna. Patients are flown to Stockholm, usually by helicopter, sometimes by Swedish Ambulance Air. This involves logistics with the hospital's planning unit and heart/vessel at NKS. If patients undergo PCI or CABG, they return to our department for aftercare before discharge. It is unique to follow the patient's care journey in this way, and it is exciting and educational.

The condition of heart patients can change rapidly! Then it is important to act accordingly. We work with safe routines and have a good collaboration with the emergency department and ICU. Otherwise, we have close contact with care coordinators, PEV, the heart clinic, and the AK clinic.

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for the patients in one of the nursing teams. At night, we are three nurses and one nursing assistant. In addition, the nurse's usual duties in the cardiology department/HIA are included.

We offer professional development in the form of a three-step training program in cardiac care. The three steps are two to three days of training in Stockholm at different hospitals. The possibility of an educational position for specialist training in cardiac care can be discussed during employment.

Who Are You?

You who are applying are a licensed nurse. We consider it an advantage if you have experience or education in cardiology or emergency care.

If you have not worked in cardiology before but are curious and want to learn new things, you are also welcome!

You enjoy working in a team and collaborating across the entire department when the situation requires it. You are attentive and independent. There are often changes in pace around a heart patient; flexibility and prioritization are part of our everyday life. You have a positive attitude towards departmental work as we depend on each other to provide professional cardiac care to the residents of Gotland. Your willingness to develop and share your experiences is appreciated.

Great importance is placed on personal suitability.

Before a hiring decision is made, a background check is conducted through an extract from the criminal record.
