Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a mine health centre in Vereeniging that needs a steady pair of hands. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Vereeniging (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly

• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Clean criminal record

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