REGION UPPSALA · plný úvazek

Uppsala, Švédsko

Area of Operations: Psychiatry We are Akademiska Hospital – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a regional hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we serve two million people in central Sweden. Here, something is constantly happening – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. With us, you will experience both difficult challenges and amazing events, in a strong community with colleagues. Welcome to apply! Our Operations Psychiatric Ward 3B provides specialist psychiatric inpatient care for patients with affective disorders such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and severe anxiety disorders. We are part of the section for affective disorders, which is a specialist psychiatric operation consisting of both inpatient care and several outpatient clinics. We are located in modern facilities where inpatient care, outpatient care, and acute psychiatric care are all under one roof. About Us To ensure care quality, we actively work to develop a good and attractive work environment for nurses. This means we value and support the nurse's autonomous professional practice, and nursing care plays a central role in our operations. Enabling recovery and health are important parts of nursing work on a psychiatric ward. A clear focus on person-centered care allows individuals' own stories to shape the care provided. On the ward, we work in two care teams where a nurse, together with two nursing assistants/orderlies, is responsible for half of the ward's patients. As a charge nurse, you lead the daily nursing work. At the end of each shift, we have a reflection session with the work group. We also have a nursing round each week and regular supervision for the nursing team. Together, we establish a care plan with current and planned interventions, which are continuously evaluated. The ward has close and well-functioning collaboration with outpatient care, which ensures safe discharge with good follow-up and treatment after discharge. We are a fun and diverse group of about 30 people consisting of nurses (both basic and specialist trained), a coordinating nurse, nursing assistants, orderlies, and doctors at various levels. Your Assignment You are responsible for psychiatric and somatic nursing care. You conduct nursing assessments, perform treatment measures, manage medication administration, and maintain contact with family members and healthcare partners. You document in the Cosmic journal system, supervise nursing students, and introduce new staff members. Together with the nursing assistants in your care team, you prepare and conduct the daily ward round. You are a key person who, together with your nursing colleagues, leads and distributes the work on the ward. Work days with us can look very different. Sometimes the pace is calmer and you can spend considerable time talking with or activating patients, while other days may involve acute situations of various kinds or coercive measures, requiring you as a charge nurse to make quick decisions and handle stressful situations. Your Qualifications and Competence We are looking for someone who is a basic trained nurse – either newly qualified or with a few years of experience in the profession. What is important is that you want to learn more about psychiatry, that you are open, curious, and genuinely interested in people. What We Offer We offer a permanent full-time position with start date by agreement. With us, there are great opportunities to influence your schedule as our nurses set their own preferred schedule. Great emphasis is placed on healthy schedules and the opportunity for each nurse to have balance between work and leisure. Our working hours follow current EU directives regarding recovery time between shifts and weekly rest. A salary supplement of 2,000 SEK/month applies for full-time work as an inpatient care allowance. The opportunity to work night shifts is also available if desired. If you are newly qualified, you will shadow ward nurses for eight weeks as they introduce you to the work. If you have prior experience, we will tailor the introduction accordingly. As a new professional, you will have great opportunities to develop your skills with us, and we regularly offer various training sessions on the ward. If you have more extensive experience, you will have great opportunities for further development and to help develop our operations. Contact us and come for a study visit if you would like.
