Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a private hospital surgical ward in Brakpan, from admission to discharge. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Brakpan, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
