ICU Registered Nurse (Day Shift)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a community day clinic in Springs that needs a steady pair of hands. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Springs-based, with most of your time spent at a community day clinic.

• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift

• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register

• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
