Summer Job, Nurse

Orthopedic Clinic, County Hospital Ryhov, Jönköping Nursing Role The Orthopedic Clinic is seeking summer substitute nurses for Ward A and the outpatient clinic. Ward A provides care for patients with acute orthopedic injuries and diseases requiring treatment and remains open during the summer. The clinic also has Ward B for patients undergoing planned surgeries, which will be closed during the summer. As a summer employee on Ward A, you will work with medication management, documentation, and medical technical equipment. You will be responsible for nursing care, pre- and post-operative care, patient mobilization, and care and monitoring of patients with epidural catheters, nerve blocks, and patient-controlled pain management. Your work shifts will include days, evenings, and weekends. At the orthopedic outpatient clinic, patients with musculoskeletal pain (muscles, tendons, bones, and joints) are assessed. We also follow up on patients being treated for fractures. As a summer employee at the outpatient clinic, you will work with telephone consultations, have your own wound care reception, and perform other nursing tasks. Work hours are during weekday daytime. Summer jobs are full-time, time-limited positions. We need summer substitute nurses during weeks 25-33. It is advantageous if you can work many – or all – of these weeks. Regional common introduction occurs outside these weeks, and we appreciate if you can also shadow during the spring. You will receive pay during both introduction and shadowing periods.
