Professional Nurse (Medical Ward)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a private maternity unit in Rustenburg, from admission to discharge. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Rustenburg (North West). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward

• Clean criminal record
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid

• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
