This position is for you who want to become part of an stimulating and developing workplace with a broad range of activities characterized by joy in work, pride, and loyalty. At Medicine Ward 8, you will have the opportunity to make a difference and learn something new every day.

About the Ward

Medicine Ward 8 is the inpatient internal medicine ward at Skåne University Hospital (Sus) in Lund, where our clinical education department (KUA) is located. On the ward, we primarily care for elderly patients with multiple conditions from the emergency department who are investigated and treated for conditions such as heart failure, respiratory failure, and various infections. Here, different professions complement each other with their competence and high engagement, creating a sense of teamwork and quality in patient care.

Student activities are a significant part of our unit. The students' clinical training periods are led by clinical teachers, and students acquire knowledge and skills, among other things, through interprofessional learning. Both as a new and experienced nurse, you are given the opportunity to develop in supervision and leadership together with your colleagues.

5 positions available.

Responsibilities

We have a competent group of nurses with long experience in the nursing profession. As we expand our operations, we need more staff and now welcome five nurses to join us.

In your work as a nurse, you are responsible for basic and specific care, risk assessment, and preventive measures. You work closely with the patient in a team consisting mainly of assistant nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. We work based on the "Smart Clinical Choices" approach. An important task for the nurses at Medicine Ward 8 is to supervise students from the nursing program who are doing their basic placements and their KUA period here.

There are several paths for professional development with us. As a newly graduated nurse, you are included in Sus's clinical foundation year program with regular training sessions over two years. We offer clinical competence development on the ward, which takes place in weekly forums in the form of lectures and practical training based on employees' wishes, as well as by working closely with our clinical specialist in your daily work. Lectures are held by our unit responsible physicians and our clinical specialist. Theory is mixed with practical training in areas such as ultrasound technique for PICC line insertion, pleural drainage, or HFNC. You are given the opportunity for training in supervision in various forms, for example in peer learning and reflective supervision.

We use a preference schedule, which gives you the opportunity to influence the schedule for the best balance between work and leisure. We plan your introduction together to create a secure and educational start in your role with us.

Qualifications

We welcome you who are a licensed nurse with the eligibility to work in Swedish healthcare. You have language skills in Swedish corresponding to at least level C1 according to the Council of Europe's scale.

Personal qualities we value are that you are engaged in your work, interested in learning new things, service-oriented, and have good collaboration skills.
