SOUTH AFRICA ADVANTAGES

Global development is declining in almost every single part of the world with one exception, Africa. As South Africa is one of the biggest players in terms of the continent’s financial status, there are plenty of opportunities with regards to jobs for foreigners in South Africa. If you are looking for a great place to expand your horizons then you should immigrate to South Africa.

REGISTERED NURSES FOR SOUTH AFRICA

To meet shortage of skilled nursing staff, private hospitals in South Africa are recruiting senior Indian nurses for their good work ethics and ability to become efficient trainers for the local staff.

To become a certified nurse, you have to go through two steps: 

you will be required to get an evaluation of your qualifications from South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and then register with South African Nursing Council (SANC).

SANC is responsible for

the registration of:

  • Learner nurses/midwives;
  • Nurses (including foreign nurses)

 

The SANC Examination are held during November and May. If you’re hoping to work in South Africa as a healthcare professional, you’ll first need to take and pass one of the many tests offered by SANC.

SANC tests are a series of exams designed to qualify new healthcare workers for professional practice in South Africa. Examinees must answer at least 50 percent of the SANC exam questions correctly to pass. Those who earn a score of 75 or higher will pass with distinction.
