Our Offering Forward into the future. Region Östergötland has high ambitions and a responsible mission. It's about health and care, about our region's development, and about those who live and spend time here. We want to continue to be at the forefront, with care, research, and education. That means daring to think new – and having the best colleagues. Therefore, we offer unique opportunities for further learning and invest in modern environments with efficient systems and tools. Many of us meet patients and their loved ones; others create the conditions for vital services. With us, fantastic people work toward the same goal – to make a real difference, and forward into the future. The Neurology Clinic values development, education, and innovative thinking. We know that nursing work can sometimes be challenging, and therefore we work extensively to support our nurses, both in daily work and in the long term. If you have plans to conduct nursing research now or in the future, we are open to discussions about how a clinical position can be combined with research at the clinic. We greatly value students doing their clinical placement (VFU) at the clinic and strive for all nurses to have supervisor training. Lead supervisors work actively on the department, and we have won the VFU award. Here you can read about our career ladder for nurses and also about your benefits with us. Job Description In Department B181, you work with both the physical and mental aspects of your patients' diagnoses, as diseases of the brain and nervous system affect both. You work with acute care, rehabilitation, and palliative care. Since patients have extensive nursing needs, you have the opportunity to become an expert in nursing care, your profession's specialist area. You develop your clinical eye as our patients' conditions can deteriorate quickly, and you gain good medical experience and knowledge. We work closely together in a team with doctors, nursing assistants, and paramedical staff, and have team rounds 3 times a week where all professions are represented. The neurology on-call is stationed at the university hospital even at night, which provides a short response time if needed and is a great reassurance for you as a nurse. You always have a nurse colleague to work with, and the department has relatively high staffing of nursing assistants relative to patients' nursing needs. Introduction takes place during daytime, according to your own needs. We believe that an individually adapted start leads to a secure employee. We have developed our introduction program, which includes a ProAct course and a mentorship program during the first year of employment. We also offer a Clinical Foundation Year to all our newly qualified nurses. Work Team There are seven nurse leaders at the clinic. Their tasks include driving specific processes from a nursing care perspective as well as acting as mentors and knowledge support for less experienced colleagues. This gives the clinic good conditions for development and support for new employees. The clinic has approximately 150 employees. About You You have a nursing degree. Experience with neurology, acute care, and/or monitoring care is advantageous. You speak and write Swedish well. As a person, you take responsibility and adapt easily to changed circumstances. It is important that you can work systematically and prioritize your efforts. You also have good teamwork skills. Application and Employment We are looking for someone interested in rotating shifts day/evening/night, but if you prefer to work permanent nights with reduced weekly working hours to 32 hours, that option is also available. The possibility of some partial leave is also available if you wish. We have a preference schedule and work two of five weekends.
