Registered Nurse (Night Duty) – Fixed-Term

Patients in this private hospital surgical ward in Kariega count on your clinical judgement every single shift. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• 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
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records

• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice

• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
