About the position

We offer a rotational position where you work 50% on Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and 50% on the Cardiac Ward/Cardiac Intensive Care (HIA).

Our operations within Angio include elective patients who come to us from all over the country to undergo PCI, valve interventions (e.g., TAVI), and other angiographic interventions. We also perform acute procedures within coronary intervention, ECMO, and other acute interventions.

On HIA, patients with acute heart disease are monitored and treated. Examples include heart attack, angina pectoris, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias, pericarditis or myocarditis, and respiratory insufficiency with carbon dioxide retention requiring close monitoring and treatment with sophisticated medical equipment.

We provide so-called HIA Class-1 care, which means the highest level of monitoring and treatment within the specialty.

You will be part of a team consisting of nurses and doctors with specialist competence in interventional cardiology. As a nurse, you will have various tasks during procedures/interventions. This may involve assisting the doctor in sterile clothing during interventions, performing nursing care measures, and other tasks inside and outside the operating room.

The position is a permanent full-time role, primarily located in Huddinge, but work at our unit in Solna may occur as we collaborate closely within OE Angio. The position also involves weekend duty (two weekends out of six) and on-call responsibilities.

We are looking for someone who

• Works well both collaboratively and independently.
• Enjoys working with both acute and elective operations.
• Is quick to think creatively, adapt, and adjust to new conditions.
• Has good communication skills.
• Feels secure in your professional role and has a positive basic attitude. You treat patients and colleagues with care and respect and contribute with knowledge and enthusiasm.

Qualifications

Requirements:

• Licensed Nurse (RN).
• At least 1 year of experience from cardiology, acute care, or thoracic surgery.

Merits:

• Experience from PCI or other interventional activities.
• Specialist Nurse with a focus on intensive, acute, or cardiac care.
