We welcome a nurse for summer temporary position!

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, safe specialist healthcare. About Surgical Department 2 Surgical Department 2 is a general surgical care unit that is part of the Surgery and Orthopedics operation. In 2020, we moved into one of Sweden's most modern care unit buildings. The new department has 28 single-patient rooms designed to ensure that each team of nurses, nursing assistants, paramedics, and doctors has a good working environment with modern technology that facilitates safe, person-centered care in collaboration with patients and their families. We primarily assess and treat patients with acute surgical diseases of the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract, traumatic surgical injuries, and urological issues. We receive both acutely ill patients, those coming for planned surgery, and patients needing palliative care. We work in teams that closely collaborate with various healthcare professionals, and the department has specialist knowledge in palliative care and a mentor nurse available. We have a close partnership with the pain team, mobile palliative team, dietitian, and local healthcare team. New nurse or new to surgical care? Introduction We provide a safe and supportive orientation period of 4 weeks tailored to your needs. Your mentor will initially be by your side for support and later in the background, allowing you to feel secure and gradually grow into your new nursing role. Qualifications You are a licensed nurse; experience in surgical and/or palliative care is advantageous but not a requirement. We offer a varied and enjoyable job in a state-of-the-art working environment with a wonderful, cheerful, and supportive team. Welcome to us!
