Department of Blood and Tumor Diseases
We are Akademiska Hospital – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a regional hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we serve healthcare to two million people in central Sweden. Things are constantly happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother is operated on, a colleague is hailed as a hero. With us, you will experience both difficult trials and fantastic events, in a strong community with colleagues. Welcome with your application!
Are you a nursing student interested in working in hematology once you have completed your education and earned your nursing degree? We offer you, who are starting term 6 of the nursing program and who choose to begin your career with us after completing your studies, the opportunity to apply for a study stipend during your final term (term 6).
Our Operations
At Hematology Department 101A, we care for patients with blood diseases, such as leukemias and myeloma. Here, highly specialized care is provided with a focus on both medical quality and person-centered nursing care.
We care for patients throughout the entire care process – from investigation to intensive treatment and, for some patients, blood stem cell transplantation or CAR T-cell therapy. Stem cell transplantation is one of our specialty areas and we are accredited according to the European quality assurance standard JACIE.
The work is varied and medically advanced. You work with, among other things, central lines, cytostatic drugs, immunotherapy, infection-fighting medications, and transfusions of blood components. Monitoring and assessment of patients in connection with advanced treatments is also included.
At the same time, nursing care is a central part of the work. We support patients and loved ones throughout the entire care process. Many treatments last several weeks and recur over time, which means that we get to know our patients well and follow them through much of their treatment journey.
We work in multidisciplinary teams where nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, and other professionals collaborate closely. Thanks to the specialized care, we have a high nurse-to-patient ratio and you will have an experienced nurse as your mentor during your first year.
JACIE accreditation means that we work in a structured manner with clear procedures and checklists for all activities. This creates security for you as a nurse, contributes to safe care for patients, and gives us good conditions to continuously develop and improve our operations.
We are looking for you who
• Are a nursing student starting term 6 this year.
• Are interested in hematology and want to start working at Hematology Department 101A after completing your degree.
• Are responsible, flexible, and have good collaboration skills.
We offer
• Permanent employment as a nursing assistant. Upon submission of your nursing license, the employment will be converted to a permanent position as a nurse. Your new position will involve full-time work with rotation of day, evening, and night shifts. Night shift rotation begins once you have become accustomed to the work and after discussion with your manager.
• You commit to working with us for 12 months after completing your degree.
• There is an opportunity to work as a nursing assistant or nursing care assistant during your studies, but it is not required.
When your position is converted to nurse, you will receive:
• An individually tailored introduction of approximately five weeks that follows the department's introduction and training program.
• Follow-up with the assistant department manager and education nurse during the introduction.
• Full-day hematology training during your initial time with us.
• Weekly physician lectures on disease and treatments.
• A workplace with a high nurse-to-patient ratio.
