Region Värmland, Karlstad, Švédsko

Your Workplace We are a small hospital in northern Värmland with great heart and commitment to our patients and employees. We work based on the vision "to create a hospital where we ourselves can imagine being patients." At Torsby Hospital, we offer a workplace with strong community, short decision-making paths, and the opportunity to have a say. The team spirit is constantly present, and all units have a central role in the work with and around our patients. Our intensive care unit has two high-tech intensive care beds and four intermediate care beds. We care for patients from medicine, surgery, and orthopedic clinics. During on-call hours, we receive postoperative patients, and we also perform short ICU visits such as electrical conversions, CVK placements, and lumbar punctures. As an intensive care nurse with us, you become part of a dedicated and conscientious team working with advanced care and life-saving interventions—where every day makes a difference. We enjoy our work, have plenty of laughter, and are characterized by caring for each other and having high professional pride. We offer you an individually tailored introduction based on your needs and knowledge. There are excellent opportunities to take an advanced course (15hp) in Intensive Care in Uppsala. Your Tasks We are now seeking an ICU nurse for a mixed full-time position. Employment level can be discussed if you have other preferences, would like to combine two positions, or can only work part-time. Do not hesitate to contact us, and we will explore the possibilities. We care for patients with varying diagnoses. As an ICU nurse, you are responsible for advanced nursing care of patients with threatening or manifest failure of vital functions in serious illnesses, accidents, and postoperative care. You monitor the patient's vital parameters and act based on the changes that occur. We work in a team with nursing assistants and anesthesiologists. The work is varied, challenging, and you learn something new every day. Our schedule includes time for development work, teaching, and internal lectures through active department meetings. Your Knowledge and Competencies We are seeking you as a licensed nurse with specialist training in intensive care. For us, it is important that you are confident, stable, and enjoy taking initiative. In our team, we support each other, especially when conditions change during the work shift, and therefore it is important that you have a flexible working style. Your good judgment is crucial when you need to make your own assessments and priorities, sometimes with limited information and time. It is also important that you understand your significant role as a nurse and can prioritize the patient's and the organization's best interests in your actions and decisions.
