Do you enjoy working in an environment where you truly make a difference for patients surrounding a surgery? Then working in recovery at Noordwest is for you.

Within our OR organization in Alkmaar, we are looking for a recovery nurse who gets energy from monitoring, stabilizing, and guiding patients before and after surgery. In this role, you will work closely with colleagues from various disciplines, from anesthesiologists and surgeons to OR staff and ICU colleagues.

recovery nurse:
As a recovery nurse, you work in the middle of the surgical process. One moment you are working intensively with the team to stabilize a patient's situation after a procedure, the next moment you are guiding a patient towards the ward in a calm and careful manner.

You are responsible for the care surrounding surgical patients in both the pre- and postoperative phases. You:

• monitor and stabilize patients after a procedure
• guide patients during a vulnerable phase and reassure them
• perform nursing and medical-technical procedures, such as inserting IVs
• provide support during loco-regional anesthesia
• ensure good handover and coordination with other disciplines

You work with patients of all ages and with varying levels of care intensity, within almost all specialties (except cardiac surgery). You have many short patient contacts, which requires you to switch gears continuously and stay sharp. This makes the work varied and substantively challenging. Additionally, you supervise students and interns and actively contribute to improving care and collaboration within the team.
