Professional Nurse (Medical Ward)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a step-down and sub-acute facility in Polokwane that needs a steady pair of hands. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients

• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift

• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
