Professional Nurse (Maternity and Labour Ward)

This is a registered nursing post at a private hospital surgical ward in Boksburg, with your own patient load and a say in the care plan. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Boksburg, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly

• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• 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

• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay

• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
• List your speciality skills in plain words, such as "ventilated patients" or "normal deliveries", instead of just the ward name.
