Nurse to the Emergency Department

REGION VÄSTMANLAND · Full-time

Västerås, Sweden

Our work is varied, exciting, and educational with a great sense of community and job satisfaction. We have a strong focus on development and we view continuous improvement as a natural part of our daily operations so we can offer patients high-quality specialist care. In this role you will have stimulating work and, over time, you can be sponsored to pursue specialist training in Emergency Care. Job Responsibilities As a nurse with us, you will work with a unique range of patients – from newborns to people at the end of life. Working within our operations will provide you with personal development as you encounter many different types of situations where you use both your medical knowledge and life experience. You work in a team together with doctors and nursing assistants in the assessment, prioritization, and care of critically ill patients. Your Introduction You will receive training on one clinic at a time, and once you feel confident at one clinic you move on to the next. When you start, you begin at one of our surgery/medicine/orthopedics clinics and stay there for approximately 2-4 months. If you have previous experience from working in an emergency department, your introduction can be adapted accordingly. Once you are trained in all three clinics, you will be trained to receive patients at 36B (infection entrance) and work in triage with an initial assessment. After that you progress to emergency calls. Before placement in emergency calls, there is both emergency call training and TRSS (acute trauma care) which help prepare you for the role. We also have a position we call Frontnurse, who sits at reception and does an initial assessment of where the patient should seek care. There you can both direct patients to the emergency department's different clinics but also refer them to, for example, primary care or other clinics. About the Workplace Working at the Emergency Department involves broad competency development since you meet patients within many different specialties. Last year we received approximately 62,000 patients for doctor visits, of which 3,000 came in via emergency calls. Our largest patient groups are in medicine/infection, surgery, and orthopedics. During on-call time we also have patients from smaller clinics such as ophthalmology, otolaryngology, gynecology, and oral surgery. Our trauma unit is one of the largest in the country and receives trauma cases 24/7. We also have emergency teams for surgery, medicine, orthopedics, infection, and pediatric patients. For us it is important that you feel good and enjoy work, so we offer you: an adapted introduction program so you become confident and secure in your professional role opportunity for competency development through, for example, internal training a workplace for different life stages, opportunity for flexible working hours within certain limits free training at our fully equipped gym wellness subsidy 3000kr/year More about your benefits can be found here: https://regionvastmanland.se/jobba-med-oss/dina-formaner/ Curious?
