How To Know If Nursing Is The Right Choice For You.
Nursing, like all other careers, has satisfying and demanding aspects. You get to spend your days helping others and working with people, and there is plenty of challenges and variety in the work, however, you do trade that for long and taxing hours, spending the day on your feet and working under pressure. But if you enjoy working with other people, have a strong desire to help others and make a difference, consider yourself sympathetic, responsible, dependable and resourceful, work well under pressure and have an interest in the medical sciences, then nursing is definitely a career choice that you should consider.
What Qualification Do I Need to Become a Nurse?
To qualify as a nurse, you can do one of the following:
- a four-year bachelor degree in nursing
- a three-year diploma
- a one-year higher certificate in auxiliary nursing
- one-year postgraduate advanced diploma in nursing and midwifery on top of your degree or diploma.
After you get your qualification, you have to register with the South African Nursing Council (SANC).

What Qualification Do I Need to Become a Nurse?
You can choose to complete your qualification at a public tertiary institution or at a private nursing college. These private colleges, such as Mediclinic, Netcare Education or Life College, offer the same diplomas or degrees as the universities and universities of technology.
After your Qualification
After you qualify and register with the SANC, you can choose to work in any number of places, but if you want to study further, you can study a masters degree or advanced diploma in nursing and you can register as an advanced practise nurse. There are two main categories of advanced practice nurses:
- Clinical nurse specialists: People who have in-depth and specialised qualifications who work closely and collaboratively with other medical practitioners.
- Advanced nurse practitioner: A person who works in primary care — health assessment and the diagnosis and treatment of ailments. In South Africa, advanced nurse practitioners are often referred to as primary health care nurses and they can work as midwives, psychiatric and pediatric nurses outside of the hospital environment.
