In your role, you are responsible for care and rehabilitation of inpatients. We provide highly specialized care, which means we often receive patients at an early stage, frequently directly from intensive care, with continued need for tracheostomy and respiratory support. You then follow the patient throughout the entire rehabilitation process until discharge/going home. The goal is for the patient to become as independent as possible. The work includes everything from personal care, medical management, and supporting the patient in the rehabilitation process as part of a team with other professional categories. You plan and perform medical care interventions in close collaboration with nursing assistants. As a registered nurse, you are an important link in a multidisciplinary team, which requires good communication and cooperation. As a newly graduated nurse, you have the opportunity to participate in the region's introduction year for nurses during work hours, which provides you with conditions for competence development and reflection. For care staff working in 24-hour operations, Region Västerbotten offers increased flexibility through various work schedule models. The models focus on recovery through shortened working hours and increased opportunities to influence your work schedule, as well as enhanced compensation for work during unsociable hours. Supervision of students and colleagues is part of your responsibilities as we are a university hospital with educational responsibilities. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for you who are a licensed registered nurse. You are a dedicated and driven registered nurse interested in working with highly specialized care and rehabilitation. As a person, you are responsible and have the ability to work independently. Since we work closely in a team with many different professional groups, it is important that you have good teamwork skills and respectful conduct.
