Dialysis Nurse in Training

• In our work-study unit, you apply new knowledge directly, together with other nurses in training and under the guidance of experienced colleagues.
• You combine medical technology with personal contact: you get to know patients and guide them through a treatment that has a significant impact on their lives.
• No night shifts and a close-knit team that supports one another make this training position extra attractive.

As a dialysis nurse in training, you learn to provide specialized care to people whose kidneys do not function sufficiently. Dialysis takes over a portion of the kidney function. You will learn to perform the treatment and guide patients regarding what this means for their daily lives.

You care for people who require long-term dialysis and for patients who require acute treatment, for example in the intensive care unit. During the training, you will learn, among other things:

• Performing hemodialysis, where blood is purified via a dialysis machine.
• Guiding patients with peritoneal dialysis: a treatment where the peritoneum is used as a filter.
• Operating dialysis equipment and understanding how the technology relates to the treatment.
• Providing information and looking together with patients at what they need to cope with their treatment.

Step by step, you develop the knowledge and skills to perform treatments independently. In doing so, you also learn to recognize changes in a patient's condition and to act carefully in acute situations.

• Start: April 2027.
• Duration: 15 to 18 months, depending on the number of hours you work.
• Pre-work: you start no later than January 15, 2027, at least 32 hours per week.
• During the training: you work at least 24 hours per week.

During the pre-work period, you will get to know the Dialysis Center, your colleagues, and the profession. Afterwards, you will follow the theoretical part of the training at the Amstel Academie. This consists of various themes and skills training.

You apply the theory directly in practice within our work-study unit. You learn from and with other nurses in training and receive guidance in your development. There is room to ask questions, practice skills, and increasingly take direction of your own learning process.

During your training, you will primarily work in Nieuwegein. Together with the Tiel location, our Dialysis Center provides care to approximately 165 patients. In addition to hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, we provide training for home hemodialysis. The Kidney Failure Clinic and Transplantation Clinic are also part of the department.

You work with modern equipment and learn from nurses, doctors, dietitians, social workers, and other healthcare professionals. Together, we continue to develop and improve kidney care. Our Dialysis Center is Qualicor-certified.

Although we are one of the largest dialysis centers in the Netherlands, the department feels personal and small-scale. You will join a close-knit, open, and diverse team, with involvement in patients and in each other. Managers provide guidance in a coaching manner and allow space for the knowledge and experience of nurses.
