Registered Nurse (Night Duty) – Experienced

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a provincial district hospital in Alberton that needs a steady pair of hands. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Alberton. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register

• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts

• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery
• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems

• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay

• List your speciality skills in plain words, such as "ventilated patients" or "normal deliveries", instead of just the ward name.
• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
