Are you interested in working with advanced abdominal, urological, and gynecological surgery in a high-tech, team-based environment? If so, you should apply to the Surgical Section (K-Section) at Anesthesia, Surgery, and Intensive Care (ANOPIVA) at one of the country's best hospitals, University Hospital Linköping. Our Offer Our operating department provides anesthesia and surgical services to various surgical specialties. Here, high-tech advanced operating room care and acute trauma patient management are conducted. ANOPIVA is Region Östergötland's largest clinic and provides operating room services within all surgical specialties except thoracic/vascular surgery. Our units conduct both elective and acute surgery around the clock. Specific to the K-Section, you will work with operations in upper and lower abdominal surgery, urology, and gynecology. Surgeries are performed open, laparoscopically, or with robotic assistance. You work in a team with anesthesia nurses, surgical assistants, and physicians, planning and organizing the day's operations in your operating room. The work varies between elective and acute procedures where you and your team make quick decisions in a high-tech environment. With us, you become part of a cohesive group of operating room nurses with great opportunities to influence and develop our operations. We take pride in our work and have the best job.

Job Description Varied and stimulating work where you as an operating room nurse have a meaningful role in collaboration with colleagues in the operating team. Here is a pleasant workplace with teamwork characterized by engagement, curiosity, responsibility, and respect for patients and each other. We center on the patient and work to ensure each team member has the right competencies to maintain high quality and patient safety. We offer individualized orientation and opportunities for rotation assignments, regular internal and external training, and research. We also offer competency development, including postgraduate education for operating room nurses. We participate in a health-promoting project that provides a 34-hour work week with full-time pay for those in 24/7 operations. As an operating room nurse, you will work in the K-Section but with some orientation in other sections to participate in on-call work. This means your specialized expertise develops in your home section while you gain knowledge about life-saving acute operations in other sections.
