High Care Neonatal Nurse

At the neonatology department of ZGT, newborns who require acute medical and nursing care are received and treated. What makes our hospital unique in this regard is that mother and child are not separated from each other. In our family rooms, where families sometimes stay for weeks, we give newborns the most optimal chance to develop a close bond with parents/caregivers and other family members. We therefore work according to the principle of family-centered and development-oriented care. This results in close cooperation between neonatal nurses, obstetric nurses, and maternity care providers. You detect, act, and prioritize quickly, pay attention to stress, pain, and comfort in the sick newborn, and provide low to medium complexity care to the mother. You promote and strengthen the strength and confidence of the parents/caregivers. You are a connecting factor in the multidisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, you actively contribute to establishing a diagnosis and treatment plan, as well as to the quality improvement of our care. You are open to feedback and reflect on your own actions. You know how to reach out to your colleagues to process situations that have been stressful for you at work. A shadowing day is an option.
