Job Description We at the infectious disease clinic's care ward, D97 in Linköping, are looking for someone who enjoys challenges and varied work. Here you will meet many different types of patients, both with different medical conditions and from different cultures. You will join a ward where you get to learn a lot and gain broad expertise. The ward accepts patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and most of our patients come via the emergency department. Our most common diseases are sepsis, influenza, endocarditis, encephalitis, gastrointestinal diseases, tuberculosis, and COVID. We work in teams with nursing assistants and doctors, and to some extent paramedics. The team is responsible for the patient's basic and specific care as well as medical needs, such as tracheostomy care. We have approximately 17 care beds divided into three care teams. One of the care teams provides more advanced medical care, and there is also the opportunity to visually and technically monitor the patient. Because we have almost exclusively acute admissions, the work can vary from very busy to quieter days. We care about you having balance between work and private life, and you therefore have the opportunity to request your schedule preferences. We try to create a customized introduction so you feel safe and comfortable in your work. After the introduction is completed, there are experienced nurses who are happy to help with advice and tips and support with unfamiliar tasks. There is great opportunity for development work and areas of responsibility once you feel confident in your role. About You We are looking for someone who is a licensed nurse. Since you will work in constant dialogue with patients and colleagues, it is a requirement that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. To thrive with us, you are flexible and see opportunities in change, as our work can vary from day to day. You see what needs to be done and take initiative. You approach situations in a professional manner but can also understand others' feelings and experiences – for safe and good care. You weigh the information you receive and make wise decisions with good judgment, and you plan and prioritize your work accordingly. You do all of this, of course, together with and with the support of colleagues, who all work together to provide the best care for patients and a good work environment for colleagues.
