Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse

Love, passion, and empathy as the most important ingredients for a wonderful role. Curious?

We would love to take you through the vacancy for Neonatal ICU Nurse. Love: for the profession, for the tiniest patients and their families, and for working in a close-knit team. Passion: for providing tailored care, for technology, for making things better, for celebrating life together, and for bearing setbacks and loss together. Empathy: to listen to parents, to sense their needs, and to involve them so that parents are seen as part of the team surrounding their child's care. To understand that a transition from an incubator to a radiant warmer is not just part of your job, but brings parents one step closer to their dream; a baby who will 'soon' just sleep in their own bed at home. This is what we believe the work of a Neonatal ICU Nurse essentially entails. Does your heart beat for this too?

As a Neonatal ICU Nurse, you provide intensive nursing care and guidance to sometimes critically ill newborns whose one or more vital functions are being monitored, supported, or replaced. In doing so, you are professionally challenged due to the complex care, the technical side, and the continuous development of the profession, and you are also of great social significance. You guide and involve parents and caregivers who play a central role in the child's care. For this, you are able to remain constantly alert to behaviors and signals, which you translate into the care that is needed or desired at that moment. Naturally, you do not do this alone. You work in intensive collaboration with, among others, doctors, a psychologist, and social work.

As a Neonatal ICU Nurse, you also supervise students from various advanced training programs and participate in working groups to contribute to new (nursing) developments within the department.
