Then apply for a summer job as a nurse at the Orthopedic Clinic at Värnamo Hospital. Welcome to us! The Nursing Role The Orthopedic Clinic is seeking summer substitute nurses for Orthopedic Care Unit B. Patients with acute orthopedic injuries and diseases requiring treatment are cared for here around the clock. The work involves, among other things, optimization before surgery, meaning you are responsible for care and pain management. You also play a crucial role in the patient's rehabilitation after surgery. We want the patient to be involved in their care, which means communication and contact with relatives is a very important part of the work. Teamwork is important to us. As a nurse, you work in a team together with doctors, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. Your working hours are during the day, evening, and weekend. We have individual schedule planning so you can influence which shifts you work. The summer job is a full-time, time-limited employment. We need summer substitutes for weeks 25-32. It is an advantage if you can work many – or all – of the weeks. We also appreciate if you can shadow staff during the spring. Your Future Workplace Värnamo Hospital has repeatedly been at the absolute top – and even in first place – in Dagens Medicin's ranking of Sweden's best mid-sized hospitals. The Orthopedic Clinic offers orthopedic surgical care with high patient safety and good accessibility.
