Here, you work in the very heart of care: you continuously observe patients, are the first to signal changes, and serve as an important interlocutor for doctors and other specialists. Your clinical eye and actions have a direct influence on both the treatment policy and the patient's recovery.

The department has 10 beds: 8 medium care beds and 2 EMU beds (epilepsy monitoring unit).

An open and collegial atmosphere prevails on the department, in which professionalism and a high level of knowledge go hand in hand with personal involvement.

• Are you in possession of a Belgian nursing diploma? Even then, we would love to get in contact with you. We are currently not processing candidates with the Graduaat Basisverpleegkundige education.

• You are at your best in acute situations, know how to set priorities, maintain an overview, and know how to act accordingly.

• You are good at clinical reasoning and anticipating.

• You can work well both independently and in a team, and you have a collegial and positive attitude.

• You are proactive, like to think along about quality and safety, and actively contribute to improvement processes.

• You get enthusiastic from the combination of clinical care and acute care and the diversity of the patient group.
