Description:

Psychiatric Care Department 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. Something is always 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 challenging trials and amazing moments, in a strong community with colleagues. We welcome your application! Our Operations Psychiatry Ward 3B provides specialist psychiatric inpatient care for patients with affective conditions such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, personality syndromes, and severe anxiety disorders. We are part of the Affective Disorders section, which is a specialist psychiatric operation within the psychiatric department and consists of both inpatient care and several outpatient clinics. We are located in modern facilities where inpatient care, outpatient care, and psychiatric emergency care are all housed 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 protect the nurse's autonomous professional practice, and nursing care has a central role in our operations. Enabling recovery and health are important parts of the 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, is responsible for half of the patients on the ward. As a charge nurse, you lead the daily nursing work. At the end of each shift, we have reflection in the work group. We also have nursing rounds 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 even after discharge. We are a fun and diverse group of about 30 people consisting of nurses, both basic and specially trained, a coordinating nurse, nursing assistants, care assistants, and physicians at various levels. Your Role As a nurse, you are responsible for psychiatric and somatic nursing care. You conduct nursing assessments, perform therapeutic interventions, manage medication administration, and maintain contact with relatives and care partners. You document in the Cosmic medical record system, supervise nursing students, and introduce new staff members. Together with the nursing assistants on your care team, you prepare and conduct daily rounds on the ward. You are a key person who, together with your nursing colleagues, leads and distributes the work on the ward. Work days with us can vary greatly. Sometimes the pace is slower and you can spend considerable time talking with or engaging patients, while other days may include acute situations of various kinds or coercive measures, when you as a charge nurse need to make quick decisions and handle stressful situations. Your Qualifications and Competence We are looking for you who are a basic-educated nurse who is either newly trained or has a few years in the profession. What matters 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 a start date according to agreement. With us, there are great opportunities to influence your schedule as our nurses create their own preferred schedules. Great emphasis is placed on healthy schedules and the opportunity for each nurse to have a balance between work and leisure. Our working hours comply with current EU directives regarding rest periods between shifts and weekly rest. A salary supplement of 2,000 SEK/month for full-time work is provided as an inpatient care supplement. The opportunity to work night shifts is also available if desired. If you are newly trained, you will work double shifts for eight weeks with the ward's nurses who will introduce you in the best way. If you have previous experience, we will adapt the introduction to that. For those new to the profession, you will have great opportunities to develop in your profession with us, and we have regular training on the ward. For those with longer experience, great opportunities are available for further development and to be part of developing our operations. Contact us and come for a study visit if you would like.
