Vacant job

As a nurse in municipal health and medical care, you need to be secure, quick to learn, and flexible as you face varying tasks. You enjoy the combination of practical care work and administration required to coordinate care between the region and the municipality for individual patients. As a nurse in municipal healthcare, you work to provide patients with good and safe care in their homes.

The municipality of Karlshamn is looking for licensed nurses for special housing and home care. The needs in the operation change over time, which means we must be flexible. We have opportunities for various placements such as resource service, PAS – patient-responsible nurse during the day, as well as within the evening and night organization.

IF you think this job is mostly about distributing medication and changing dressings, and looks about the same most days, you can stop reading here.

“Being a nurse in the municipality means I get to combine the best of different worlds. With one patient, I provide acute care with IV drips and antibiotics, with the next I assess after a fall. One patient is palliative, and there I have many family conversations and contacts with the palliative team. I conduct training for care staff on a medical condition that is not previously known. I round with my doctor and have gathered questions I need help with based on the patients' health conditions. I often follow my patients for a long time, which allows us to build relationships; this facilitates my assessments when I know the patient and promotes good and safe care,” says Sofia, a nurse in Karlshamn municipality.
