For care organisations on Urk I am available as a self-employed nurse. I work with respect for the close-knit community and with clear agreements about the assignment.
Urk is a former island with a strong community of its own and a long fishing history. Family and togetherness play a big role there, including when it comes to care for older people. Families are often closely involved and expect care providers to be mindful of that.
As a freelance nurse I work for care organisations on Urk in direct care and in improving working methods. I do not come to take over the existing way of working, but to strengthen the team where needed.
In a close-knit community, trust is everything. A warm, personal approach and clear communication with clients and their families come first for me. I take the time to listen and tailor my care to what matters to this client, within the agreements of your organisation.
If your team is temporarily short-staffed, I can step in with nursing cover. If you also notice that working methods differ from colleague to colleague, we look together at practical quality improvement. That way an assignment leaves more behind than just filled shifts.
For clients with dementia, calm support makes a big difference. With my experience in psychogeriatric care I know how important a predictable day and a calm approach are. On the page about nursing cover in dementia care you can read how I work in this area.
Teams on Urk also face the question of how to organise wound care in a fixed and lasting way. With wound care and reporting I help your team make the agreements from day-to-day practice consistent, and report according to SOAP. Where something is not yet landing well, we look together for a practical solution that suits the floor and your organisation.
Yes, an assignment can be short or somewhat longer. We tailor the duration in advance to what your team needs.
I involve families where appropriate and communicate clearly, always within your organisation's working agreements.
Yes, I am a nurse listed in the BIG register (the Dutch register of healthcare professionals). You can check my registration yourself in the BIG register.
