Professional Nurse (Theatre)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a private hospital surgical ward in Tzaneen that needs a steady pair of hands. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Tzaneen. Relocation is not covered for this one.
