Registered Nurse (Emergency Unit)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a community day clinic in Kempton Park, from admission to discharge. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Kempton Park-based, with most of your time spent at a community day clinic.

• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward

• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• Clean criminal record
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays

• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems

• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training

• 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.
