Department of Health Reviews

 

Senior Professional Nurse (PHC)

Working under Department of Health after school has taught me alot. I started to work here since 2010 to date immediately after my basic course. I've been rendering service in different programs like HIV, TB etc. My relationship with my patients and colleagues is excellent. Never attend disciplinary hearing, court case or council hearing in this career. I always treat people with smile , respect and dignity all the time. Helping people is my priority. I would like to see myself in management level one day.

Pros: since completed my post basic qualification ive never put on speciality notch
Cons: I see more than 35 patients per day due to staff shortage

Pros: Travelling to my work is easier for me because i live near
Cons: Work load with limited resources

Accounting

I really enjoy working at the clinic as I deal with client's different behaviors. It teaches me how to handle people or to provide my good customer care services. In this work environment I have to work as team team with my colleagues, What I like working with them is that we're all understand the aim of the job that we should strive for a continued excellence and a service delivery. I have learned a lot in this job,to use DHIS system ,ETR system ,Tier.net system. I used to have less confidence in when it comes to speak in front of 100's people but now it doesn't how much the number of people in front of me can be I can stand and present Monthly statistic for my facility. Even though I enjoy working at Melani Clinic there's just one challenge I have is that I stay 120km far from my kids.They are in East London and during the week I stay in Alice because I'm working there. Thats is the reason I am looking for another job that could be closer to them.

Pros: I haven't been promoted yet, but there are opportunities here of becoming an Information Manager.
Cons: In this department I haven't worked long hours ,I always working normal hours
