ICU Registered Nurse (Day Shift)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a provincial district hospital in Soweto that needs a steady pair of hands. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Soweto; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records

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

• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups

• List your speciality skills in plain words, such as "ventilated patients" or "normal deliveries", instead of just the ward name.
• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
