Professional Nurse (Maternity and Labour Ward) – Immediate Start

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a private hospital surgical ward in Midrand that needs a steady pair of hands. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Location: Midrand, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• 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
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families

• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• 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
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route

• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery
• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems

• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Study support for post-basic specialities
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups

• For night-duty posts, say clearly in your cover note that you want permanent nights, as many applicants only want days.
• List your speciality skills in plain words, such as "ventilated patients" or "normal deliveries", instead of just the ward name.
