Orthopedic Care Unit A and B, Orthopedic Clinic, Värnamo Hospital

Are you a nurse with an interest in orthopedics? Do you want to work in a positive climate with experienced colleagues? Then apply for the position of nurse and become part of our wonderful community at the orthopedic clinic at Värnamo Hospital!

The Role of the Nurse

The orthopedic clinic has 22 care beds divided into two units. Care Unit A treats patients after planned orthopedic surgeries, while Care Unit B treats patients with acute injuries. As a nurse with us, you will enjoy a natural variety and broad competence in orthopedics as you rotate between the two care units.

Your work involves, among other things, optimization prior to surgery, meaning you are responsible for nursing care and pain relief. You also play a key role in the patient's rehabilitation after surgery. We want the patient to be involved in their care, which means that communication and contact with relatives are a very important part of the job.

Many of our patients need us around the clock. For the nurse we are hiring now, this means working days and evenings on weekdays and weekends. We have individual schedule planning, so you can influence which shifts you work. The position is a permanent full-time employment, and the start date is by agreement, preferably in August or September. If you are interested in working part-time, we are open to discussing this.

Your Future Workplace

Värnamo Hospital is characterized by highly functional collaborations that make daily life easier for everyone, a forward-looking attitude, a pronounced focus on quality, and continuous development. Here, we enjoy the advantages of a smaller hospital with a broad scope and the opportunity to develop within your specialty. The smaller hospital also allows for close collaborations and a good working climate between us and our partners.

The orthopedic clinic at Värnamo Hospital offers orthopedic surgical care with high patient safety and good accessibility. As a nurse, you work in a team together with doctors, assistant nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. Together with several different professional groups, you also participate in improvement projects that develop the operations, you, and your colleagues. At the clinic, we constantly work with ongoing development and appropriate use of competence (RAK). This means that we use our resources and competencies in the best possible way to achieve safe care of good quality with high accessibility.
