Registered Nurse (Emergency Unit)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a private maternity unit in Randburg, from admission to discharge. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in Randburg (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders

• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Clean criminal record
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid

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

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• 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.
• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
