Cardiac Care (CCU) nurse

As a cardiac care nurse, you will work in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) and the Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) unit. Here, you provide intensive care to patients with acute and sometimes life-threatening heart problems. You combine clinical reasoning with rapid action and work with advanced monitoring and treatment techniques.

No shift is the same. You assess patients with acute complaints, set priorities, and coordinate care together with cardiologists and other healthcare professionals. After treatment in the acute phase, you transfer patients to a follow-up ward or to their homes.

You will be involved in:

• admitting, monitoring, and caring for highly complex cardiological patients;
• performing triage and deploying appropriate acute care;
• coordinating patient care as a day coordinator on the CCU and ECC;
• participating in the multidisciplinary resuscitation team after extensive Advanced Life Support (ALS) training.

What do you bring?

You are a nurse who remains calm in acute situations and makes the right choices quickly. You work accurately, think critically, and feel at home in a dynamic working environment.

You bring:

• a valid BIG registration as a nurse (mbo-V or hbo-V) and a CCU certification;
• experience or affinity with highly complex and acute patient care;
• the ability to set priorities quickly and act thoughtfully;
• a proactive and collegial working attitude;
• the skill to apply protocols carefully while simultaneously using clinical reasoning.
