Professional Nurse (Theatre) – Permanent

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a step-down and sub-acute facility in Alberton that needs a steady pair of hands. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Location: Alberton, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families

• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery

• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
