Requirements

What we're looking for

You are a BIG-registered nurse with a completed mbo-v education. We find enthusiasm, motivation, and eagerness to learn more important than work experience. You possess the following basic competencies:

You contribute to pleasant collaboration through a friendly attitude and open communication, and you are able to give and receive feedback.
You are flexible, can switch tasks quickly, and are resistant to stress.
You are able to keep pace with continuous change and innovation.
You take initiative and responsibility to continue developing yourself.

The role

As a nurse on a nursing ward of the Abdominal and Pelvic Center, you will deal with complex care needs. All teams on ward C5 provide care within the abdominal and pelvic region: Urology/Gynecology, Short Stay, Gastrointestinal Surgery, and Gastroenterology. The content of the care is very diverse, but highly complex across all teams, involving many nursing technical skills and psychosocial support.

The teams provide both planned care and acute care. The Urology/Gynecology and Gastrointestinal Surgery teams also provide a lot of surgical oncological care, while the Gastroenterology team provides more chronic patient care. In the Short Stay team, only planned care is provided, but the broad range of specialties and the high turnover of patients require broad fundamental nursing knowledge, foresight, and good logistical planning skills.

The combination of different specialties and the complexity of the care requires collaboration and flexibility. You view the patient and their loved ones as your partner and work intensively in multidisciplinary teams with various disciplines.

Working as a nurse on our ward means that one moment you are confronted with acute, unpredictable care where you must act immediately and set priorities. The next moment, you take the time to instruct a patient or their loved one in a procedure that the patient will perform themselves at home, such as administering parenteral nutrition.

Nurses and nurse practitioners work on our ward. The distinction between the two is reflected in the care at the bedside and beyond. The nurse practitioner ensures that the nursing profession continues to develop and that nursing autonomy takes concrete shape. This is achieved by taking responsibility for the continuous improvement of care content, the organization of work, or collaboration with colleagues.

Continuous learning and development are important to us for every professional and student working with us. Nurses can continue to develop both professionally and personally, allowing them to share knowledge with one another. Annually, we train a large number of nursing students, at both mbo and hbo levels. We believe it is important to invest in our colleagues of the future.

Good to know

The first interviews will take place on November 20, 2026. It would be helpful if you could take this into account.
A shadowing day is possible in consultation.
A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We are recruiting for this vacancy ourselves. We do not appreciate acquisition; however, sharing within your network is welcome.

About Radboudumc

In their own words

About the company & team

As a nurse, you will work with approximately 150 colleagues on nursing ward C5. The ward is divided into four teams, each with its own expertise and specialist care:

Urology/Gynecology.
Gastrointestinal oncology.
Short Stay.
Gastroenterology.

You will be hired for the entire nursing ward, but you will find your home within the MDL team. The MDL team consists of 22 nurses. For you, it is not a problem to also be deployed in the other teams. This allows you to get to know the other specialties in an accessible way, continue to develop yourself, and share knowledge and experience. In the future, we would like nurses to also work across the boundaries of the nursing ward and develop more broadly within Radboudumc. You could think of a combined position or a career path.

On the Gastroenterology (MDL) nursing ward, you combine nursing technical procedures with psychosocial support and work intensively within a multidisciplinary team.

Within MDL, the emphasis lies primarily on acute and unplanned care. The MDL specialty focuses on the research, prevention, and treatment of disorders of the digestive system. You will actively participate in the diagnostic process and make an important contribution to the treatment.

Our ward is a leader in nursing science research. We want to continuously improve our care and work according to the latest insights, and we do this together with our nurse scientists. We have a number of nurses in our employ who combine their work as a nurse with the role of nurse scientist. This combined position has a great impact on the care on the ward and is important for both patient care and the development perspective for the nurses.

We believe it is important to work together in a pleasant way toward the continuous improvement of care, and we attach great value to a good atmosphere and mutual cooperation. Outside of working hours, fun activities are regularly organized together.

We also believe it is important that we offer everyone opportunities to continue developing themselves. One of the training opportunities is, for example, the oncology nursing training that many nurses on our ward follow, because we provide a lot of oncological patient care. We are also open to other training programs and strive to facilitate you in this.

Nursing ward C5 is part of a trio of centers: the Abdominal and Pelvic Center, the Oncology Center, and the Inflammation, Infection, and Defense Center. Due to this unique combination of multiple centers on one nursing ward, our patient population is very diverse and dynamic. We provide care for both surgical and medical patients and also provide a lot of oncological care. Our patients may be admitted as planned or via emergency admission.
