Dialysis nurse in training

As a dialysis nurse in training, you will learn to provide specialist care to patients with chronic or acute renal failure. Dialysis has a major impact on patients' daily lives, which is precisely why you often build a long-term bond with them. You guide patients during temporary or long-term dialysis treatment and, when necessary, through the process toward a possible kidney transplant. During the training, you will learn to perform renal replacement therapies in both chronic and acute situations. As your training progresses, you will receive increasing responsibility. You will develop into a dialysis nurse who can independently perform complex treatments and is medically and technically strong. Upon successful completion of the training, you will be authorized and competent to work as a dialysis nurse. You will work in the dialysis center with the latest technologies and developments. The center has 28 dialysis stations and treats an average of 115 patients per week. The department is open six days a week. Outside of office hours, we work with on-call services. You will work according to the E.V.V. system (First Responsible Nurse) and will be part of a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, nurse practitioners, dialysis nurses, care assistants, dietitians, technicians, social workers, spiritual caregivers, and secretaries. In addition to direct patient care, you can participate in various working groups. The training to become a dialysis nurse lasts 15 months and starts in April 2027. During the practical part, clinical supervisors will guide you in the department. You will follow the theoretical part at the Amstel Academie of the Amsterdam UMC. You will also be given space to further develop personally and professionally through various workshops and training sessions. For the duration of the training, you will receive a training employment contract for 32 to 36 hours per week. It is the intention to convert the employment to a permanent contract afterwards, provided this is appropriate within the staffing structure. If you already have a permanent employment contract with ZGT, this remains applicable. Upon successful completion and definitive placement within the department, you will be classified in FWG 50.
