About the Open Position
We have divided the department into three teams: emergency team, stroke team, and neurology team.
You will be part of one of these teams and, together with an experienced nursing assistant, will be responsible for the team during night shifts. We care for patients of various age groups with neurological diseases such as MS, Parkinson's, ALS, brain tumors, and epilepsy, with capacity for direct admissions and diagnostics.
As part of the team, you will also work in the stroke process, where we have clear patient care routines. We are part of the acute stroke patient flow, which includes close collaboration with radiology and ambulance services. We perform thrombolysis treatment, manage TIA patients, and prepare for thrombectomy performed at Sahlgrenska.
The position is for night shifts, and it's important that you are aware the assignment covers all hours of the day.
About Us
We work in patient-centered, interprofessional teams and have recently introduced movement monitoring to prevent falls. We have a pharmacist as part of the team to support medication management. We have two senior nurses who are involved in introducing new employees, ensuring a secure start.
We are proud of our department, and for us, the feeling of doing a good job is important – together, we work towards top-quality care.
