Vacant job

Our operations include acute and 24-hour care, local outpatient care, and highly specialized care. We are also a clinic that provides university healthcare as well as research and education.

We are now looking for a nurse for Ward 54, located at St. Göran's Hospital, which belongs to Beroendecentrum Stockholm's section for acute and 24-hour care. The ward is a specialized inpatient unit consisting of 22 beds where we treat patients under the care forms HSL, LPT, and LVM, with psychiatric and somatic conditions related to problematic consumption or alcohol dependence.

We work in care teams consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, and doctors. The ward is also a clinical training unit, which means you may meet students from various professions here.

The Role

As a nurse, you will have a highly varied and stimulating job where great importance is placed on personal responsibility as well as collegial collaboration. Based on the nursing process, you are responsible for the patient's care together with doctors, nursing assistants, and care coordinators. You are part of the patient's social planning and contribute to a good care chain with other actors. Your daily work includes both psychiatric and somatic nursing, which includes everything from supportive conversations to withdrawal assessment and treatment. You also use your medical technical competence in areas such as sedation due to withdrawal, wound dressing changes, catheter insertion, and intravenous treatment. At our clinic, no two days are alike due to the combination of the patients' own conditions and the general length of care stays of 2-3 days.
