Neurology Nurse

• Grow in your profession, towards becoming a specialized neurology nurse
• A lot of autonomy and direct contact with patients and loved ones
• Variety that keeps you sharp > acute situations and recovery care
• Colleagues you can turn to and who turn to you when things get complicated
• Work in which you truly take the time for both patient and family

On the neurology ward, you see how quickly things can change.
A patient arriving after a stroke (CVA). Uncertainty among family members.
And sometimes, after just a few days, the first signs of recovery.

As a neurology nurse, you work with patients with neurological disorders, such as a stroke (CVA). You are right in the middle of it.

You guide patients and their loved ones from admission to discharge and maintain an overview of the entire trajectory. On the stroke unit, you are involved in acute situations, for example, regarding emergency interventions. On the ward, you focus more on recovery, stabilization, and preparation for the next step.

You:

• monitors the progress of the admission and signals changes
• is the point of contact for the patient and loved ones during a often uncertain period
• coordinates with doctors, neurologists, and other disciplines both within and outside the hospital.
• brings calm and overview to situations that change rapidly

Together with your colleagues, you ensure everything is correct, especially when it becomes complex.
You will start with an induction period in which you get to know the ward well and are guided through the work step by step.
After that, you will continue to develop; whether you want to grow towards becoming a specialized neurology nurse or want to deepen your expertise at HBO level, that space is there. Even after that, you are not alone; we guide you in your development, including through our junior-senior trajectory.

You work on our neurology ward (stroke unit) at the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein. Here, you provide care to patients with neurological disorders, such as a stroke (CVA).

Here, colleagues know each other, easily drop by one another's side, and help each other when necessary. The atmosphere is open and direct; you are never alone. We look beyond just the clinical picture. What does someone need to be able to move forward again? That question runs as a common thread through the work, and you play an important role in that.

• Salary up to € 4,346.- gross per month (FWG scale 45) based on a 36-hour work week, depending on your education and work experience.
• Annual contract for 36 hours per week, with a view to permanent employment
• A 13th month, an attractive pension scheme, and a time budget to use for a good work-life balance
• Tax benefits and discounts on, among other things, bicycles, sports, electronics, and cultural outings
• Training and development opportunities to deepen your (professional) knowledge
• Participation in (sporting) activities and workshops

This suits you if, as a nurse (for example, as a neuro nurse or neurology nurse), you observe keenly, remain calm in situations that change rapidly, and take responsibility for your patient.
Furthermore, you have:

• A diploma in MBO or HBO Nursing
• Affinity with neurology

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research form the three solid pillars. Thanks to our size, we can truly make an impact, while remaining agile and personal.
