I live and work in Bern and currently work in the orthopaedic department at Sonnenhofspital. Since this year, I have also been working as a recruiter at Swiss HRmed, which makes me very happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The languages I speak are Dutch, English and German. At the hospital, I can now also communicate in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I completed my Bachelor's degree in the Netherlands at the Hanzehogeschool in Groningen, which is similar to the FH program here in Switzerland. My course lasted 4 years (8 semesters), has 240 ECTS, and I completed three six-month internships. You do the internships in different areas of nursing that match the year of study. After completing the nursing degree, you receive the title: Bachelor of Nursing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am used to working in a team that focuses on the patients. Clear communication and giving and receiving feedback are important here. It is personal responsibility to keep your skills up to date and thus make an active contribution to the quality of care. Having an assertive attitude and striving to provide effective and efficient care is valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing they have in common with Switzerland is the pursuit of high-quality care that adheres closely to regulations and puts the patient at the center. However, it should be noted that the Netherlands is more innovative in its thinking and has a stronger focus on efficiency in healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One difference is the workload. In the Netherlands, there are fewer hands at the bedside, so the workload has increased considerably in recent years. This could jeopardize the quality of care. In Switzerland, this is handled better because more time is available for care, and I experience more satisfaction among staff and patients.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
