Department of Medicine, Dermatology and Rheumatology – Nurse for Gastrointestinal and Kidney Ward 100B2

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough trials and fantastic events, in a strong community with colleagues. We welcome your application!

Do you want to develop healthcare – for real?

On the Gastrointestinal and Kidney Ward 100B2, we are not just a care ward; here we test new ideas, working methods, and digital tools with the goal of creating a better work environment and even safer care for our patients. We are the first hospital to work with movement monitoring via AI technology, to better prevent fall accidents.

Our Operations

Here, you will work with patients who are investigated and treated for gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney diseases. We receive patients from other regions and are proud to provide national highly specialized care for several diagnoses. This means you become part of an operation where advanced care, strong team spirit, and high competence are at the center, always with the patient in focus.

When opportunities arise, we also care for patients from other specialties, such as internal medicine. For you as a nurse, this presents a unique chance to develop broad and valuable competence.

Are you also curious about surgery? Then this might be the perfect workplace for you. Several of our treatments and procedures are performed under anesthesia, giving you experience with both pre- and postoperative care, an exciting and developmental part of working with us.

Your Role

As a nurse, you work in a care team together with an assistant nurse and are responsible for 5–6 patients. The ward also employs a ward pharmacist whose role is to support medication-related matters and assist with, among other things, medication preparation. As a nurse, you also have close contact with dietitians, physiotherapists, and social workers. Our patients arrive both urgently and planned, providing variety and pace in the work.

You will have the opportunity to develop within highly specialized care, including pre- and postoperative care, and influence how care is provided – every day.

• Are a licensed nurse – preferably with experience, but this is not a requirement
• Have good prioritization skills and are flexible in a varying work pace
• Are positive, solution-focused, and contribute to a good work environment
• Have an interest in development work and want to help improve healthcare

Your Competence

You handle stress in a constructive way, maintain a good mood under pressure and setbacks. You think outside the box, come up with new ideas, and find new solutions to old problems. You adapt and find win-win solutions through a non-hierarchical focus on the common goal.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This implies no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who in the sought employment may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertisement sales.
