Registered Nurse (Emergency Unit)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a mine health centre in Phalaborwa, from admission to discharge. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward

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

• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems
• Unit manager or shift leader experience

• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Study support for post-basic specialities

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