Job Description
We are hiring a registered nurse for Saarijärvi Hospital for a fixed-term employment until October 4, 2026. Where will you work? Saarijärvi Hospital's 30-bed acute ward offers a versatile working environment where we care for adult patients regardless of specialty. Patients mainly come to our ward from Nova's joint emergency service, specialized care units, and some from outpatient health care emergency points. We value work-life balance. In the planning of three-shift work, we consider your individual needs and life situation, and you can influence your shifts through Titania Electronic Services. We can agree on the start date flexibly. Why would you want to work with us? We offer a diverse, challenging, and rewarding job as part of a multidisciplinary and skilled team. Work on the acute ward is fast-paced and situations can change quickly, but you will never be alone – you will always have support from your team. We emphasize good orientation, tailored to your skills. Whether you are an experienced healthcare professional or at the beginning of your career, we ensure you receive the necessary support and guidance. You will also have access to the Intro orientation system to support your familiarization. What will you do? As a nurse, you are responsible for immediate patient care, including monitoring health status, performing various measurements, medication administration, participating in doctor rounds, basic care, and documentation in the patient information system. Your tasks also include indirect care tasks such as medication ordering, receiving medications, and tasks related to your areas of responsibility. In addition to the task-specific salary, we pay a work experience bonus of 3% from 5 years and 8% from 10 years of experience. Please note the good working conditions in the public sector, such as holiday entitlement. Holiday accrual is based on your work experience – the more experience, the more earned holiday days. The team spends 1-2 days a year on well-being activities.
