If you are interested in a career in nursing then be sure not to miss the annual Open Day at the Western Cape College of Nursing this week.

The event is hosted at the college’s Athlone Campus in Klipfontein Road (close to the Manenberg Police Station) and attracts hundreds of interested students annually.

The Open Day will introduce the four-year programme to potential students and outline the criteria you need to enroll.

Students with Pure Mathematics, Maths Literacy and Physical Science as subjects are invited to pop in on Thursday between 9am and 4pm or Friday between 9am and 1pm to hear about exciting career opportunities.

Nursing is one of the few professions in the world where you are guaranteed a job and graduates are also snapped up for a variety of overseas opportunities.

Qualified nurses interested in specialising in post-basic areas like theatre technique and midwifery are also invited to attend for more information on these qualifications.

Call 021 684 1289 for more information.
