Intensive care (IC) nurse

As an IC nurse, you will work in an academic setting, where together we provide the best possible person- and family-centered care to highly diverse patients. Patients with often highly complex and exceptional conditions, who frequently cannot be treated further elsewhere in the region (or in the country). What this means is that you will be involved in groundbreaking medical treatments and research.

Your work as an IC nurse is dynamic and challenging due to the diversity and complexity of our patients; you provide this care within a multidisciplinary team.

You are part of a large and diverse team spread across two locations within Amsterdam UMC. Highly specialized IC care is offered at both locations.

At the VUmc location, the emphasis is on oncological disease patterns (Gastrointestinal, lung, hematology, and oncology), both surgical and medical.

At the AMC location, acute care is centralized, which includes trauma, cardio-, and neurosurgery, among others. There is the possibility to rotate between both locations.

Furthermore, we can of course tell you that you have come to the right place with us to find depth and variety in your work and to make an active contribution to the quality of care, but what makes the Intensive Care of Amsterdam UMC truly unique?

• Top-clinical care, many specialties, and highly complex care, such as VA/VV ECMO.
• Participation in CIV (consultative Intensive Care nurse) and SIT (Emergency Intervention Team).
• Availability of the MICU (Mobile Intensive Care Unit).
• Extensive training offerings and regular scenario training.
• Possibility of a dual role with, for example, the ER, Pediatric IC, PACU, or as an anesthesia technician.
• Opportunities to further develop within working groups, as a senior or practitioner, and there is much attention for nursing research.
• Possibility to obtain individual EPAs, such as the EPA cardiac surgery and the EPA neurosurgery.

In our department, we work with the latest treatment methods and high-tech equipment, and we continuously invest in medical innovation and scientific research. This means that with us, you can truly make a difference for patients and their families at one of the most vulnerable moments in their lives.
