Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Unlike general nursing posts, this is a Specialty Grade (PN-B1). You must have a post-basic qualification of at least one year in Paediatric Nursing Science, accredited under SANC Regulation R212.
For specialized nursing roles, the practical exercise usually involves a clinical case study or a simulation related to paediatric emergencies, dosage calculations, or unit management to test your technical competency.
The requirement is 4 years of experience after registration as a Professional Nurse. While the specialty qualification is mandatory, the total nursing experience is what is calculated for the 4-year threshold.
