Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Nurse

As a nurse in the Heart Center clinic, you will work in an environment where no two days are the same. You switch gears quickly, set priorities, and adapt to changes. You provide care to patients with a wide range of cardiac issues, from low to high complexity. The duration of nursing care varies from one day to several weeks, with an average of seven days. In addition to clinical beds, there is a complex care unit. In complex care, you provide care to acutely admitted cardiology patients and complex cardiothoracic surgery patients. This ensures a great deal of diversity within the department.

You will work with patients admitted following a (threatening) myocardial infarction, heart failure, rhythm and conduction disorders, or in preparation for a bypass or heart valve surgery. Patients following complex surgery are also cared for in our department. Furthermore, many patients have a complex condition, such as endocarditis or a congenital heart defect.

With us, you will be given room for self-development and can grow into roles such as an AOA nurse. You will also gain relevant clinical experience to transition into the Cardiac Care training program or the training to become an intervention nurse in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab. Naturally, you will also gain relevant experience that you can take with you if you wish to eventually start training for the ICU.
