Our Operations

Surgery Department 70C is one of four departments that are part of the Department of Surgery and Urology. We provide highly specialized surgical care focusing on transplantation surgery, liver/pancreas, and esophagus/stomach surgery. The majority of our operations are planned, but we also conduct some acute and subacute care with direct admissions to the department from our collaborating regions.

The department also includes the transplantation clinic, where our patients come for investigations and follow-ups before and after transplantation. The clinic is partially staffed by personnel from the department. The department has 24 beds staffed by a large and dedicated team of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, pharmacists, and other important health professionals who work together in teams around the patients. We also have nurses with specialist functions such as specialist nurses and section responsible nurses, who work to drive and develop care for our patients. We work with the framework Fundamentals of Care as our value base and with a clear patient-centered approach where the patient is in focus.

We actively work on the development and further education of our staff and invest in ensuring that you as a new employee receive a good introduction and training to have the best possible conditions in your work, whether you are new to the role or experienced.

With us, you will have a developing and enjoyable job where you will be part of an engaged and professional team with a welcoming and permissive work climate. We have a good habit, knowledge, and routine for receiving newly hired nurses, which means that you will have a safe and good start to your career with us, regardless of your previous level of experience.

Your Mission

We offer you as a nurse a developing and varied job where you will gain broad knowledge in surgical care. Over time, you will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge within our medical sections and further develop through internal and external training and opportunities for other tasks.

Your tasks include caring for postoperative patients, which involves both practical tasks such as administering medications, infusions, and injections, and managing pain pumps, as well as more administrative tasks such as patient education and identifying care needs and risk areas. Together with our nursing assistants, you will plan and lead the work with the patient in focus.

We offer a permanent full-time position with a start date according to agreement. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and nights. Night work is relevant only after you have fully integrated into the departmental work after consultation with the manager. We work with healthy scheduling and you will have the opportunity to influence your schedule. We have scheduled training days four times a year and weekly lectures for continuous professional development.

As a newly graduated nurse, you will participate in a clinical development year (KUÅ) during your first year as a nurse, corresponding to about 20% of your working time. We also offer guidance and mentorship from our experienced nurses and specialist nurses during your initial time as an employee.
