ICU Registered Nurse (Day Shift)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a mine health centre in Gqeberha, from admission to discharge. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Home base is a mine health centre on the Gqeberha side of Eastern Cape.

• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day

• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Study support for post-basic specialities
