Our Operations
Surgical Unit 70C is one of four units within the Division of Surgery and Urology. We provide highly specialized surgical care with a focus on transplant surgery, liver/pancreas, and esophageal/gastric surgery. Most of our operations are planned, but we also provide some acute and subacute care with direct admission to the unit from our partner regions.
The unit also includes the transplant clinic, where our patients come for evaluations and follow-up visits before and after transplantation. The clinic is staffed in part by personnel from the unit. The unit has 24 care beds staffed by a large and dedicated team of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, managers, dietitians, physiotherapists, and pharmacists. We work with the patient in focus, and you'll have exciting work where you meet patients of different ages and situations, making a difference in their lives. The unit strives to offer the best possible care to our patients. Therefore, we actively work on staff development and training, and we invest in ensuring that you as a new employee receive good introduction and training to have the best possible conditions for your work, whether you're new to the role or experienced.
With us, you'll get a rewarding and enjoyable job where you're part of a dedicated and professional team with a welcoming and permissive work climate. We have good experience, knowledge, and routines for receiving new nurses, which means you'll get a secure and good start to your career with us, regardless of your previous experience level.
Your Assignment
The unit provides 24/7 care, and competent night staff is an important part of that. We offer you as a nurse a rewarding and varied job where you gain broad knowledge in surgical nursing. Over time, you'll have the opportunity to specialize within our medical sections and develop further through internal and external training and opportunities for other tasks. We offer the opportunity for paid specialist training in surgery as well as rotation positions in the clinic, research, and special assignments.
Your tasks include caring for postoperative patients, which involves both practical work such as administering medications, infusions, and injections and managing pain pumps, as well as more administrative tasks such as patient education and identifying care needs and risk areas. Together with our experienced and competent nursing assistants, you plan and lead the work with the patient in focus.
Examples of patient groups you'll meet with us:
- Patients with tumors who have undergone liver, pancreas, esophageal, or gastric surgery
- Patients undergoing kidney, pancreas, and islet cell transplantation
- Patients with complications after transplantation
We work with healthy scheduling, and you'll have the opportunity to influence your schedule. We have scheduled training days four times a year and weekly lectures for continuous professional development. If you're interested in specializing within an area of nursing care, you'll have the opportunity for scheduled work time to develop this.
