Nurse in training for AOA and SSO

Do you want to work with various specialties and is acute care a direction you want to specialize in? Then this is your chance!

As a nurse in training to become an AOA nurse, you provide acute care to medium- and highly complex patients from the Specialist Emergency Care (SSO) and various outpatient clinics. It is our task to organize and coordinate the best possible care for the patient within 72 hours.

The unpredictability means that as a nurse on our department, you quickly learn to switch gears and prioritize. Additionally, due to the variety of specialties, you perform many (complex) nursing technical procedures.

For 2.5 years, the VUmc location has been receiving acute patients at the Specialist Emergency Care (SSO). As a result, the AOA has gained a central role in the emergency care of patients. This means that you are called upon as the first nursing observer, where you have control and a lot of personal responsibility.
