Registered Nurse (Emergency Unit)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a mine health centre in Cape Town CBD that needs a steady pair of hands. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a mine health centre on the Cape Town CBD side of Western Cape. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register

• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Clean criminal record
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts

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

• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
• For night-duty posts, say clearly in your cover note that you want permanent nights, as many applicants only want days.
