The hospital's catchment area encompasses 280,000 residents. Together, we are about 5,000 employees who work every day to provide good and safe specialist healthcare. We are located on the west coast, and our area offers varied nature with both sea, mountains, forests, and lakes.

Are you an assistant nurse with a genuine interest in the elderly? Do you want to be part of a department that has the vision to develop cutting-edge care for this clientele?

MÄVA

At MÄVA, we care for medically acutely ill elderly patients, who come both from the emergency department and directly from home.

We are part of the collaborative healthcare system and work together with ambulances, primary care, and municipalities, and we have a local healthcare team connected to us. This collaboration is an initiative to ensure that multi-ill and frail elderly patients receive quick care.

The challenge in the work is the complex disease picture with many chronic illnesses and frailty. Common diagnoses in the department include acute infections, diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and atrial fibrillation.

Job Responsibilities

As an assistant nurse at MÄVA, your tasks will be varied. You will work with sample collections, NEWS checks, ECGs, bladder scans, catheterization of the bladder, CPAP and BiPAP treatment, and wound dressings. Daily nursing care for our patients and documentation is also included. As an assistant nurse, you will document measurement values, updated status, and in various care plans. We work in teams around the patient, where you, together with nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, are an important part.

There is great potential for development in the assistant nurse role in the department.
