We succeed best when we succeed together

With us you will become part of a diverse group of nurses with different experiences, ages and professional perspectives. We work closely with surgeons, anesthesia staff and service staff, because we know that the best patient pathways are created in collaboration.

We help each other, share our knowledge and question each other’s practices with curiosity. There is room here to ask questions, come up with ideas and learn new things, regardless of how much experience you bring with you.

A good working environment is created together through trust, respect, professional sparring and the willingness to help each other.

What will you be working with?

• Reception and preparation of patients for surgery
• Nursing and coordination around the surgical patient pathway
• Observation and care after surgery
• Recovery of day-surgery patients
• Discharge and guidance to patients and relatives
