Professional Nurse (Medical Ward)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a community day clinic in Sandton that needs a steady pair of hands. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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

• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• 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
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift

• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Clean criminal record
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly

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

• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
