Frequently Asked Questions

If shortlisted, you will undergo a technical exercise. For a Professional Nurse, this typically involves a clinical competency test, a medication calculation exercise, or a situational scenario regarding patient care standards.
No. According to the latest DPSA guidelines, you only need to submit a fully completed Z83 form and a detailed CV. Certified documents will only be requested from shortlisted candidates.
You must have a completed Diploma or Degree in General Nursing and be currently registered with the South African Nursing Council (SANC) for the 2026 period. Failure to provide a valid SANC registration number will result in disqualification.
