Pediatric Nurse

As a Pediatric Nurse in the Amalia Children's Hospital (AKZ) at the Medium Care department, you will be involved in highly complex care for children. You will provide low- to medium-complexity care to children with complex care needs. In doing so, you will work in multidisciplinary treatment teams, collaborating intensively with many different doctors and other colleagues from a large number of specialties and departments, both within and outside of Radboudumc. Professionals who each have their own vision on the treatment from within their specialty. But with one common goal: that the child can return home with the parents or to another hospital in better condition.

In this, alongside your 'at the bedside' duties, you fulfill an important coordinating role and maintain an overview. In this capacity, you are the eyes and ears of the treating physician(s). It is important that you actively contribute ideas to the treatment and continue to monitor the development of the child's clinical picture.

As a nurse, you essentially provide care to patients of all ages, which means you come into contact with new facets of the profession every day. This provides a lot of variety, challenge, and dynamism in your work, but also places high demands on your knowledge and skills. Not for nothing, we offer you many opportunities to continue developing yourself professionally and personally and also to share your knowledge with colleagues.

The department consists of three teams. You will not only work in your own team, but also regularly in one of the other teams. For example, when it is very busy there and you have time for this. Because you work in an academic setting, in which we continuously conduct research into (technical) innovations in treatment methods on our department, you will remain at the forefront of your profession.

In the care on our department, the child's parents play a crucial role, and you actively involve them as equal participants in the treatment team. Especially with seriously ill children who are often treated by us for long periods, you build a personal bond with both the child and the parents.

To develop yourself, share knowledge and experience, and to step in in case of capacity problems, it is not a problem for you to step in on another department or within another specialty.

You are an experienced nurse with a completed postgraduate training as a pediatric nurse.

You possess a broad clinical perspective and see it as a beautiful challenge to work with a large number of disciplines and to delve into different specialties. You possess the social and communicative skills to collaborate well in a treatment team, where not infrequently different visions on the treatment from various specialties must be aligned. In addition, you naturally contribute actively to the treatment plan. You are also able to listen well to parents and empathize with their situation. You give them a sincere sense of involvement.

You also stand firm in your shoes when parents have wishes regarding their child's care that, in your eyes, do not benefit the treatment or do not fit within the department's agreements. Additionally, you find it important that you function optimally as a person and as a professional, and you have the ambition to continue learning. You then seize the opportunities offered to you to further develop yourself with both hands, you share your knowledge and experience with colleagues, and you participate in activities organized within the department in the field of knowledge sharing. Where possible, you take the lead in this. Furthermore, you are flexible in your work, can handle giving and receiving feedback well, are positive by nature, and are open to change and innovation; you want to make a substantial contribution every day to ever better person-centered care for children.
