Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a community day clinic in Ermelo that needs a steady pair of hands. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Ermelo (Mpumalanga). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day

• 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
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice

• IMCI and NIMART training for primary health care work
• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay

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