ICU Registered Nurse (Day Shift)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a mine health centre in Hammarsdale that needs a steady pair of hands. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Hammarsdale-based, with most of your time spent at a mine health centre.

• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward

• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• Clean criminal record
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route

• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems
• IMCI and NIMART training for primary health care work

• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups

• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
• For night-duty posts, say clearly in your cover note that you want permanent nights, as many applicants only want days.
