Recovery Nurse in Training

At this moment, we have training positions for recovery available again! This means that as a nurse, you will start in recovery and first undergo a preparatory period to get to know the team, the department, and the duties well. You will start by following the BAZ training in Recovery; once you have successfully completed this, you will continue your training to become a Recovery nurse by following the Recovery EPAs. Dhen, you will begin the specialization training to become a recovery nurse.

A wonderful opportunity to further develop yourself and specialize in the care of patients surrounding surgery.

Your new job
As a recovery nurse, you are primarily responsible for the postoperative care of an OR patient. You nurse, monitor, treat, and guide the patient, focusing on stabilizing vital functions and applying an adequate postoperative policy. As a recovery nurse, you will come into contact with all kinds of patient categories, from young to old and from simple procedures to very complex procedures. It is therefore a super varied and dynamic working environment within the OR complex!

In addition to your regular duties as a recovery nurse, there are future growth opportunities towards pain consultant, preoperative screening, member of the VAS team, and coordinating duties. You are also (even during your training) deployable in the holding area, where together with the holding nurses, you ensure that every patient receives the right preparation for their surgery. Also assisting with, among other things, cardioversions, epidural pain relief for pregnant women and pleural effusions, and assisting with local anesthesia techniques are part of your duties.

• We attach great value to your work-life balance and to sustainable employability. For example, we do not do scheduling via central planning, but within the department itself. This allows us to meet your wishes in most cases.
• Boring? Not with us! The various work locations, the diversity of procedures, from low to high complexity, the high degree of independence, and not to forget the Limburg hospitality, ensure that no day is boring.
• On the recovery unit, work is performed in all shifts (day, evening, and night). In addition, there are on-call shifts during the weekend, meaning physical presence in the hospital is not always required.
• A fantastic team where you will be received with a warm heart and where fun outings and activities are organized regularly.

• A contract for the duration of the training. After obtaining your diploma, you will receive a permanent contract.
• Depending on your previous education, you will start in FWG 45 or FWG 50. While following the training, you will progress through the salary scale in which you were classified before the start of the training.
• As a qualified recovery nurse, you will receive a salary in FWG 50 of the CAO Ziekenhuizen (maximum gross monthly salary of € 4914).

• Optional participation in the staff association with discounts on concerts, holidays, and interesting workshops/courses.
