Your Responsibilities

At the Clinics

At our surgical clinics, you work together with doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants in a responsible and evidence-based manner, adhering to established routines.

You will work across all clinics, assisting with various medical visits such as vascular clinics, including Doppler examinations, minor surgeries, and urological examinations. You will also independently manage patient bookings for tasks such as dressings, medication installations in the bladder, urinary flow measurements, patient education regarding RIK, injections, and telephone advice in the TeleQ system.

You collaborate with the nurses at the clinics, distributing the tasks to be performed during the day. The work takes place during the day, primarily with scheduled patients, but emergency tasks within the clinic may occur.

As this position is new, the development of tasks will be shaped over time together with you and your colleagues.

In Inpatient Care

You will work closely with nursing assistants near the patients, responsibly and evidence-based, adhering to our routines. In your role as a nurse with us, you are responsible for your care team and lead the care of the patients. You are expected to have a person-centered approach, recognizing that each patient has unique needs and circumstances, where the patient's relatives are also an important piece and resource. Influence, participation, and job satisfaction are keywords for your daily work, and we see patient safety, collaboration, and communication as important components.

On the ward, you primarily work with acute care, preoperative preparations, and postoperative care. You are responsible for handling peripheral and central accesses, sampling, monitoring and assessing NEWS2, fluid balance, tubes, drains, EDA, and stomas. Pain relief and mobilization after surgery are also important tasks.

Who Are You?

We are looking for a licensed nurse. Experience in emergency care or surgical/urological care is an advantage.

Good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is important in your patient interactions and for collaboration on the ward and clinic.

You have a positive attitude towards our patients. In addition to being computer literate, you are meticulous, have good collaboration skills, and can work independently. It is important that you enjoy working with varied tasks, even under occasionally high pressure.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability, such as good collaboration skills and flexibility. We offer you an individually tailored introduction.

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