Community Nurse in the Netherlands

As a nurse, you will visit clients at home and serve as someone's fixed point of contact. Together with the client, you will assess the care needs and determine which support is required to help someone as effectively as possible. In doing so, you will also look at whether you can utilize other disciplines or tools. Your work is varied and consists of nursing technical procedures, palliative and terminal care, and support during rehabilitation. Increasingly, you will also deal with social issues, which makes your work extra challenging.

Your workday begins at home, where you first have a brief consultation with your colleagues via chat or telephone. After that, you head out independently: walking, by bicycle, or by car. Behind every front door lies a different story; based on the care plan, you determine what is needed for your client. After your round of clients, you return to the office to consult with your colleagues. In addition to direct care for clients, you also have other tasks. Think of drafting an indication, conducting an intake interview, supervising students, consulting with GPs, completing reports, or taking on EVV (Extensive Care/Nursing) tasks. Every colleague has their own team task that matches their interests and skills.

If you work a morning shift, you work from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM: you are reachable from 7:00 AM, and you start with your first client at 7:30 AM. Usually, you finish your round of clients between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. After that, you take on other tasks, such as administrative matters, consultation with colleagues, and conversations with new clients. If you work afternoons and evenings, you work from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
