We are seeking nurses with an interest in orthopedics and surgery for our team

Hospitals in the West is an administration within the Västra Götaland Region and consists of four hospitals – Alingsås Hospital, Angered Local Hospital, Högsbo Local Hospital, and Kungälv Hospital. Approximately 3,000 employees work with us every day to provide high-quality, specialized healthcare of the highest standard. Hello! We are now looking for you who want to work together with us! We are the Orthopedics and Surgery Department at Kungälv Hospital, and you can find us in our beautiful facilities on the 2nd floor. More about us Five years ago, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern ward buildings. The department has 28 care places divided into four teams with seven patients per team, where all patients have their own room including a bathroom. The environment is fresh and easy to work in. The department focuses on broad orthopedic and surgical care, both acute and planned. We care for patients with acute conditions following trauma, accidents, and illness. Patients with infections and pain issues are also treated in the department. Monday-Friday, one of our teams is dedicated to elective orthopedic patients who have received new shoulder, knee, or hip prostheses. Our goal is to continuously develop and improve our operations and always strive to become even better when it comes to patient safety, patient satisfaction, and work environment. We are keen to maintain a good working climate, a safe environment, and close collaboration during both good and challenging days. Your future colleagues are a lovely group who are considerate towards patients, relatives, and each other, and together we make the department a place where everyone should feel comfortable. Job Responsibilities As a nurse with us, you will have the opportunity to work broadly within both orthopedics and surgery - and you will become an important part of our change and improvement work. You will daily have close collaboration with nursing assistants, doctors, paramedical staff, and medical secretaries. What can we offer? - Shifts working both evenings/days and weekend shifts - Mentor nurse - Competent and wonderful colleagues Our goal is for all new employees to integrate into the work as smoothly as possible, so you will receive an individually tailored introduction. In our department, we have a mentor nurse with extensive experience from the operations who will guide and support new employees through the introduction and who will also be available after the introduction for follow-up and to provide support and advice. Clinical Base Year For newly graduated nurses/radiography nurses, the Clinical Base Year is included during the first year of your permanent employment. The Clinical Base Year includes lectures, process-oriented nursing guidance, and practical training of your profession at the Simulation Center. It also includes shadowing in other operations to give you a broader understanding of the hospital where you work. This is an investment made to give you the opportunity to further develop in your profession and build your professional identity. Who are we looking for?
