Pulmonology Nurse

Do you love clinical reasoning, nursing technical challenges, and seeing the visible results of your care? Then Pulmonology might have more to offer you than you think.

In our department, you care for patients with a wide range of lung and airway diseases. You will learn to deeply understand disease patterns, quickly recognize changes in patient conditions, and independently implement appropriate nursing interventions.

An extra dimension within the department is the Respicare Unit, where patients who require more intensive respiratory care are cared for. Here, you will specialize in areas such as non-invasive ventilation, Optiflow, chest drainage, and arterial blood gases. This requires keen observation, technical nursing skills, and sound clinical reasoning.

Pulmonology is therefore much more than one specialty: it is a combination of specialist knowledge, acute care, technology, guidance, and intensive patient contact. A wonderful place for nurses who want to keep learning and further develop themselves.

As a nurse, patient care comes first. We provide clinical care to patients across the full breadth of the pulmonology specialty. Patients come for both acute and planned admissions. You coordinate the care for the patients assigned to you.

• You nurse and guide patients throughout the entire admission process on the ward.
• You ensure the creation of care plans, which are drawn up in consultation with the patient and healthcare providers.
• You coordinate the patient's nursing process and align care with specialists and other healthcare providers.
• You advise, instruct, and provide information to patients and their loved ones regarding care, illness, treatments, and how to manage them in the home situation.

The Beatrix Hospital is a regional hospital in Gorinchem with an outpatient clinic in Leerdam. Modern medical facilities, quality of care, and a wide range of specialties are characteristic of the hospital. By working closely with patients, GPs in the region, and other healthcare providers, the Beatrix Hospital fulfills its promise of high-quality medical-specialist care every day. According to AD and Elsevier, the Beatrix Hospital has been among the best hospitals in the Netherlands for several years. The regional function of the hospital ensures that you can practice your role in its full breadth.

With 14 beds, the pulmonology department is a small department. In the department, we work in good trust with nurses, pulmonologists, a physician assistant, students, and interns. Because we are a small team, we encounter each other more quickly during the varying shifts. As a result, we get to know each other well, both professionally and personally. We work hard, but we are there for each other and can count on one another.

During your shift, you are responsible for a number of patients. This means you must be able to work independently. But you must also be able to set priorities when multiple tasks arise simultaneously. Within your work as a nurse, you are given the space to learn and deepen your expertise in the profession. Not just to obtain a certificate, but also to feel competent and proficient. You are fully on board with that. Together with your colleagues, you work on providing quality of care, but we also find a good working atmosphere important. With your positive attitude, you ensure that contact with patients and colleagues proceeds in an enjoyable way.

• You possess a diploma in mbo-nursing or hbo-nursing.
• Work experience in a hospital would be nice.
• You are BIG-registered and vaccinated against Hepatitis B, or willing to be.
• You want to follow the Basic Acute Care training.
• You work day, evening, night, and weekend shifts.

We trust that you are good at what you do. This is what you get in return from us.
