Nurse Surgical specialties

Gain a world of experience in a short time at the academy? That is possible in one of the seven departments within the surgical departments. You can truly make a difference for the patient in one of our departments within the surgical specialty:

VUmc location:

• Gastrointestinal surgery/GI
• Colorectal surgery/GI
• Urology/ Plastic surgery/gender surgery

AMC location:

• Traumatology
• Vascular surgery/Oral-Maxillofacial surgery
• Orthopedics/Plastic -reconstructive surgery

Together with you, during the selection round, we will look at which specialty or which department best fits you and your ambitions and where you are needed most. You will then start working as a nurse in one of these departments for six months. Have you found your feet well after six months? The vast majority of nurses who start with us on this basis can be retained in these departments and fill the first part of their career within Amsterdam UMC there. Experience shows that these departments offer many opportunities for your (further) development and form a good springboard to other departments such as the ER, ICU, and PACU. You can count on good guidance and a good induction program.

As a nurse, you are truly the ears and eyes of the physician. You are the (first) responsible nurse for the total care of patients, actively contributing to the treatment process. In addition to daily nursing responsibilities, you perform all kinds of nursing technical procedures (such as wound care, drains, infusion with medication, pre- and postoperative care, and monitoring). You will deal with the most complex clinical pictures here.

What do you bring?

• a diploma in mbo-V or hbo-V, both starters and more experienced colleagues are welcome;
• availability of 24-36 hours per week;
• capacity to work well in a team;
• strong communication skills and close involvement with your patient and their loved ones;

For this combined department, we are looking for enthusiastic, driven, and empathetic nurses. You are eager to learn, open to developments, and want to put your shoulder to the wheel together with your colleagues. As a team, a sense of humor and direct, open communication are highly valued.
