Intermediate Care Ward (IMA) – Trainee Nurse

The Intermediate Care Ward (IMA) is a relatively new ward, which means we are still developing the department forward together. It is a 24/7 operation, and patients come to us from all over the hospital. Patients treated at IMA require a higher level of care than on a regular ward, but not as advanced as in intensive care. At IMA, we have five care beds divided into two care teams, and the average length of stay is approximately 1–2 days.

The workplace is characterized by a cheerful, professional, and inclusive environment where we collaborate closely. We welcome your application!

Job Responsibilities

Common diagnoses among us include respiratory failure, sepsis, metabolic disturbances, and intoxications. Patients come to us from medical wards, emergency care services, and as "step-down" patients from our intensive care unit. We work closely with patients in a team consisting of nurses and nursing assistants, in collaboration with physically present doctors and physiotherapists. As a nurse, you will, together with this team, be responsible for the care of 2–3 patients. Currently, we treat patients with medical conditions, but the goal is also to be able to admit patients with surgical and orthopedic conditions as the department grows and in combination with training.

As a trainee nurse with us, you will work with, among other things:

• Continuous monitoring, care, and treatment
• Vasoactive medications
• Respiratory support such as non-invasive ventilation (NIV/high-flow) and cough assist machines
• Invasive blood pressure monitoring (arterial line)
• Intensive breathing gymnastics and secretion mobilization
• Assessment of level of consciousness and delirium

What we offer you

• A thorough and personally tailored introduction as a trainee nurse for approximately 10–12 weeks
• The opportunity to make significant contributions and be part of a larger context
• The possibility to contribute to the development of the department
• Opportunities for competence development in the form of pedagogical rounds, internal training, and further education in emergency care and intermediate care
• A varied job in a high-tech care environment
