Do you want to specialize as an ICU nurse and make an immediate impact? Follow the training and make a difference for cancer patients in the intensive care unit of the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. With our excellent guidance, you will grow step by step in your role, so that you can eventually provide highly complex care and fill a permanent position in our close-knit team!

As soon as you successfully complete your training after 1.5 years, you are guaranteed a permanent job. For the first 4 months, you will attend lessons one week per month at the Amstel Academie. After that, the frequency of the theory lessons will decrease and you will work more on the ward. At the end of your training, you will also complete an internship for a number of weeks in the ICU of the Amsterdam UMC, so that you also gain experience in highly complex ICU care outside of oncology.

• You provide intensive care to oncological patients who come to us after undergoing - often technically highly complex - surgery. This means that our patients are usually awake and stay in our ICU for a relatively short period on average.

• You work in our unique medical center, where we do not have emergencies. Patients who become unstable at home come to us acutely in the ICU.

• You support patients and their loved ones during the difficult and uncertain period in the ICU. With us, you get the time to support them emotionally and ensure that they feel heard and seen.

• For the first 9 months, you will be scheduled as surplus staff. In fact: you can schedule yourself. Based on the shifts of your supervisors, you choose for yourself when you work.

• You receive excellent guidance, in which we take your learning style into account and move with your learning curve.

The training starts in April and October. Before you start, you will first shadow our ward for 1 month. This way, you get to know our intensive care unit and start your training well-prepared.

Welcome to our ICU! We, about 30 nurses, would love to welcome you. How do we experience our workplace? As a medical center with an enormous impact - groundbreaking cancer research is conducted here and technically highly complex care is provided - and a convivial atmosphere like in a small hospital. We are a close-knit group with loyal colleagues. Even though we deal daily with patients being treated for severe illness, there is also room for lightheartedness with us. During breaks, and for example during our team outings.
