Obstetric Nurse

As an obstetric nurse, you contribute to the miracle of birth. You do this in a special and constantly varying setting with doctors, midwives, parents, caregivers, and colleagues. Your input is crucial when it comes to providing advice and finding collective solutions. With one goal: providing top care to mother and child! Do you want to see how we do that? Apply for this position. A shadow day is part of the application procedure.

In this role, you will sometimes encounter situations with various complications occurring simultaneously. That makes working as an obstetric nurse at Radboudumc so special and diverse. Working together towards safe, friendly midwifery. Our close-knit, professional team often deals with 'extraordinary' pregnancies, births, and postpartum periods. This requires specific care and additional expertise, working with the latest equipment and tools.

We organize care as much as possible together with mother and child and based on their individual needs. Where appropriate, we make use of innovative treatment methods. By taking responsibility in our development, we collectively stand for the quality in the department. Where possible, even beyond that. For example, we have sought collaboration within the chain with primary and secondary care and with the Neonatology department. Together with the Neonatology unit, we have been shaping the Perinatology care domain since September 2017. We do this with a multidisciplinary team in an informal, pleasant atmosphere.

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.

Within the Perinatology care domain on the Obstetrics unit, care before, during, and after pregnancy and childbirth comes together. We treat patients ranging from simple, common conditions to very complex and rare diseases and issues. Your colleagues strive for the best possible care in both medical and nursing aspects, where the individual needs of mother, child, and partner are central, in word and deed. We also work closely with maternity care, youth health care (JGZ), and, among others, midwives/GPs to raise the level of birth care for the city of Nijmegen and the surrounding area. Through constant evaluation of outcomes and client experiences, we want to make this qualitatively better, more effective, and more efficient.

The Amalia Children's Hospital is the academic children's hospital of Radboudumc, where we provide care to more than 26,000 children and (expectant) mothers annually. We believe that every child deserves to grow up as healthy as possible. And that begins during pregnancy. With us, you work in a warm, safe, child- and family-oriented environment in which we actively involve children and their parents in the care process. We connect various specialties and expertise centers to provide high-quality and integrally organized care - from birth care and hereditary disorders to complex pediatric trauma and burn care. As a university medical center, we combine care with education and research. You will work together with dedicated colleagues and contribute to the development of innovative, sustainable, and person-centered healthcare. Within our teams, there is room for professional growth, learning, and development. Working at the Amalia Children's Hospital means you truly make a difference in the lives of children, pregnant women, and their families. Where care and attention meet, our central focus is ensuring that being young and growing up as healthy as possible is indeed possible, even when life presents medical challenges.
