Pediatric Nurse in Training

Do you dream of supporting children and their families during moments that truly matter?

Reassuring a child just before surgery. Understanding the next step in a treatment together with parents and children. Providing specialist care to a newborn, toddler, or teenager. As a pediatric nurse in training at the Sophia Children's Hospital, you make a difference every day, for the child and for the family around them.

As a pediatric nurse in training, you combine working and learning. You care for and support children of various ages with diverse conditions and support their parents and caregivers during hospitalization. You work together with experienced pediatric nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. This way, you learn to better observe what both the child and the family need.

Here, you don't just start your training, but you build a career in which you can continue to grow. Whether you want to specialize further, move to another department, or develop yourself within education, research, or nursing leadership: within the Sophia Children's Hospital and Erasmus MC, you will be given the space for that.

During your training, you will become acquainted with various specialties within the Sophia Children's Hospital, such as pediatrics, neurology, surgery, and long-term care. This allows you to develop yourself into a versatile pediatric nurse. What you can expect from us:

Lots of variety: No two days are the same thanks to a large diversity of patients, medical conditions, and care needs.

Expert guidance: You learn the profession from the best and most experienced colleagues in the field.

Room to grow: A safe working environment in which you are fully encouraged to ask questions and immediately practice new skills.
