Cardiac Catheterization Nurse in Training (Interventional Nurse)

As an interventional nurse in training, you will work in the Cardiac Catheterization department: the place where patients in sometimes life-threatening situations are treated. Here, you will be trained to become a pillar of strength for patients being admitted during resuscitation or undergoing a planned cardiological treatment. You are the doctor's extra pair of eyes and the first to notice if things are about to go wrong.

You will therefore learn to properly guide patients during and after invasive procedures. Common treatments include:

• cardiac catheterizations and coronary interventions (stenting procedures);
• CTOs (chronic total occlusions);
• electrophysiology (ablations);
• ICD and pacemaker implantations;
• transcatheter heart valve interventions;
• GUCH procedures (grown-up with congenital heart disease).

Working hours

Your working days are from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. You will also be regularly available for on-call and standby shifts.

What do you bring?

• You are a BIG-registered mbo or hbo nurse OR you have a BMH diploma in acute care/cardio-diagnostics;
• If you have completed mbo-V, we additionally ask for relevant experience within cardiology;
• You are decisive, flexible, and stress-resistant;
• You have the talent to switch quickly between planned care and emergencies;
• You quickly master your new specialist equipment and materials;
• You live a maximum of 30 minutes from Amsterdam UMC due to the standby service.
