Nurse for Department 69

REGION VÄSTMANLAND · Vollzeit

Västerås, Schweden

Do you want to work in an environment like no other? Neonatal Department 69 is a combined care unit for sick newborns and premature infants as well as their mothers. With us, you will work with care for the small child and its family in a unique and stimulating work environment. Work Tasks After your introduction, you will have the opportunity as a nurse to develop over time in your work tasks, which consist of qualified care, acute care, and intensive care for sick newborns and premature infants. You will meet children with varied care periods and care needs, and no two days are the same. You will be a support to new parents in their process of getting to know and bonding with their new family member. You work in a team together with child nurses and physicians where collaboration within and between teams is important. As a newly hired nurse, you always have an experienced colleague at hand. The introduction consists of 8–10 weeks of orientation at the department where you initially learn the basics of neonatal care and then develop to take independent responsibility as a nurse. You will also attend the department's own introductory training over 4 full days. Newly graduated nurses are also offered Region Västmanland's general introductory training. Scheduling is done individually and activity-adapted in TESSA and we work according to Region Västmanland's working time model. About the Workplace The Children's Clinic is like a small hospital within a large one. With us, all the expertise a sick child might need is available. We take care of the children and their families and we take care of each other—because we know we do a much better job together. The department cares for sick newborns and premature infants from week 28. Approximately 400 children per year are cared for on the department's 10 care beds, of which 3 are intensive care beds. Care is family-centered and children are cared for together with their parents. For a secure transition home, we offer Leave Care or Home Care at the end of the care period. We have close collaboration with the Women's Clinic, which cares for newly delivered women on our department. The operation is conducted in modern facilities with multiple single rooms, which enables extended combined care and a good work environment. Child nurses, nurses, pediatric nurses, and physicians work with us, as well as paramedical professionals. We asked two of our pediatric nurses what the best thing is about working with us: "In my job, I not only have the opportunity to make a difference for families in the acute phase. I also have the opportunity to make an impression on how they will remember their first time as parents. I get to strengthen the parental role and promote attachment" /Maria, pediatric nurse "My work tasks are very varied. One day I support parents in bathing their child for the first time. The next day I might rush to an alarm at delivery and care for a child on a ventilator. For me, this means I have an exciting job where all days don't look the same. The variety also means I have time to mentally recharge after more intensive periods" /Elin, pediatric nurse For us, it is important that you feel well and enjoy your job, so we offer you: adjusted introduction program so you become confident and secure in your professional role opportunity for competence development through, for example, internal training a workplace for different stages of life, opportunity for flexible working hours within certain limits free training at our fully equipped gym wellness allowance 3000kr/year More about your benefits can be found here: https://regionvastmanland.se/jobba-med-oss/dina-formaner/ Curious?
