Registered Nurse (Night Duty)

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a mine health centre in Pretoria East that needs a steady pair of hands. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Pretoria East, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders

• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Clean criminal record

• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• Unit manager or shift leader experience
• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery

• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Study support for post-basic specialities
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation

• List your speciality skills in plain words, such as "ventilated patients" or "normal deliveries", instead of just the ward name.
• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
