In this video, colleague Maeve talks about her experience as a student.

Within our training, we work with the unique learning-work unit concept. With the learning-work units, we ensure that there is more time for informal learning. The training lasts approximately 13 months. The exact duration of the training depends on the number of hours you work per week. Learning-work shifts are regularly scheduled. During these shifts, you have all the time to apply what you have learned in practice together with your fellow students, and there is all the space to go deeper into the theory under the supervision of a learning-work unit coach. The strength of our learning-work unit lies in learning together. At the Antonius Academy, you follow several theoretical modules. During the training, you work 28-36 hours per week, which you spend mainly in the MC, but we also find it important that you gain an impression of the surrounding departments. Therefore, you will do an internship in the ICU and OR Holding. We offer our training three times a year*. Whenever you want to start, applying now or joining for a shadowing day is always possible.

*The next start date is February 2027

The Medium Care at the Nieuwegein location, together with the Intensive Care (ICU), is part of the OR/IC center and, with 20 Intensive Care and 10 Medium Care (MC) beds, is the largest non-academic ICU/MC in the region. At the Utrecht location, there are 3 MC beds, 1 stabilization bed, and 2 recovery beds outside of office hours. During the training, you will work only in Nieuwegein.

As an MC nurse, you provide care not only to patients being transferred from the ICU but also to patients being transferred from the ER or nursing ward for specific MC care. In addition to the nursing technical aspects, there is much attention to rehabilitation and psychosocial guidance of the patient and their loved ones.
