Ready for a new challenge and looking for professional depth as a nurse? That is possible within pediatric medicine Northwest. As a pediatric nurse in training, you will learn, via EPA-guided education, to provide multidisciplinary care to this vulnerable young patient category at both locations. Develop yourself in teams where we work hard and have fun together. Do you want to contribute your part as well? You will find that opportunity in the combination of Alkmaar and Den Helder. The pediatric medicine team is looking for professionals in training (PIO). Take the next step and start with us as a Pediatric Nurse in Training (PIO)

pediatric nurse in training (PIO):
This means you begin your day with the care of the youngest patient category. On the pediatric wards of Northwest, all ages (from 0 to 18 years) and disciplines are mixed together. Every child has a different clinical picture and therefore also needs different care. You keep a close eye on your patients and act as the eyes and ears of the doctors, so that you can inform them well. Besides providing the right care, you will also learn to become a master at distracting and reassuring children and providing explanations to their parents. As a team, we work well together, but as a pediatric nurse in training, you will also learn to work well independently. The family is important, and therefore you place the family at the center and empower them, so that they ultimately go home with confidence.

pediatric nurse:
Depending on the previous education completed, the training lasts on average 13-16 months. The practical training takes place in the pediatric medicine department in both Alkmaar and Den Helder; the theoretical part of the training (EPA education) is followed at the Amstel Academie in Amsterdam.

Experience from Roos:
I work as a pediatric nurse in the pediatric ward at both locations. It is a very fun, interesting job and nicely varied. You deal with children who are just a few weeks old up to young adults up to 18 years. In addition to working in a team, you also work independently. Sometimes you really have to use your creativity to get things done with children, for example, to guide treatments in a way that is as comfortable as possible for the child. You are the point of contact for the child and parents, whereby you put the family at the center. Additionally, you work closely with the physicians and the rest of the multidisciplinary team. These combinations make my work challenging and meaningful.

pediatric medicine:
The pediatric wards of the Alkmaar and Den Helder locations work closely together. In addition, we also work together with all healthcare providers from inside and outside the organization and we work hard on improving this collaboration with the goal of guiding the patient as well as possible.

Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep is fully in development. In Den Helder, the renovation will be completed at the end of 2025 and Alkmaar moved to the new building in April 2026.

professional in training:
You are an enthusiastic, motivated colleague who wants to be trained as a pediatric nurse. Someone who has the ambition to provide complex care to children and someone who wants to work together in a multidisciplinary team with physicians, physician assistants, and colleagues from neonatology and obstetrics within the women-child center.
