Nurse Night Shift - Psychiatric Departments 91/96

REGION VÄSTMANLAND · Vollzeit

Västerås, Schweden

We are seeking nurses for night shifts in 24-hour care at departments 91 and 96. Our nights are characterized by close collaboration, stable staffing, and an active focus on safety. Night work offers great variety – you will meet patients with different backgrounds and diagnoses and handle both acute situations and long-term care processes. Work Tasks As a nurse with us, you have a central and varied role encompassing both psychiatric and somatic care, where your medical knowledge is used in symptom assessment, risk evaluation, and medication management. As time and opportunity permit, you participate in nursing care work, while the nurse's areas of responsibility always have the highest priority. All of psychiatry is housed under the same roof, which creates close collaboration and good opportunities for support even during night shifts. Each night, 13 care assistants and 4 nurses work in 24-hour care, providing stable staffing and a strong collegial environment. The operation has a clear focus on safety and continuous improvement work. Common night meetings contribute to shared understanding and knowledge exchange. To enable skills development for all staff, training is sometimes scheduled in the evenings so that night personnel can also participate. What is the best part about working nights? "You get a completely different closeness to the patients at night. The pace becomes calmer and you have more time to really see each individual. The team at night also becomes very tight – we help each other and trust one another in a way that's hard to describe." - Eva About the Workplace Psychiatric 24-hour care (HDV) is an operation that is constantly moving forward. We actively work on improvements based on operational needs. We feel that we make a difference for our patients and have the privilege of getting to know them. The work climate is open and permissive; we can be ourselves and we help each other. We have good cohesion in our staff groups, both within our own work team and across 24-hour care as a whole. Department 91 Department 91 is a general psychiatric acute unit with a substance abuse focus, where the emphasis is on withdrawal treatment for patients with comorbidities in psychiatry and substance abuse. The department is a regional resource for patients with complex issues, such as active substance abuse combined with mental and/or somatic illness. Work is conducted in close collaboration with Beroendecentrum Västmanland and the region's open care clinics to ensure coordinated and patient-safe care. Department 96 Department 96 is an acute psychiatric psychosis unit with 14 care beds. It primarily cares for patients with psychotic disorders in acute phases, but also patients with substance abuse problems and neuropsychiatric diagnoses. Care aims to stabilize the patient's condition in preparation for continued treatment in psychiatric open care. Patients often require somatic interventions, and work is based on a holistic perspective with the patient in focus. Care is provided according to both HSL and LPT.
