Dental Nursing - Harare
Position : Dental Nursing - Harare
Allow me to begin by sharing a famous quote from William Shakespeare, the legendary English playwright from whom my informal middle name or nickname originated during my Grade 7 years at Mount Selinda Mission School in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. I earned this nickname after brilliantly acting a part from the novel called The Merchant of Venice. William Shakespeare once said, “Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven” (King Henry VI, Part 2, Scene VII). This timeless wisdom encapsulates the spirit behind the creation of the Zimbabwe Academy of Dental Nursing (ZADENU). Upon recognizing Zimbabwe's lag in keeping pace with the global trend of professionalizing the role of Dental Surgery Assistants, ZADENU was born in March 2018. This program adopts an innovative hybrid learning model, integrating various approaches, including: Block release schedules, digitally supported modules, Traditional open distance learning (ODL), Open distance e-learning (ODeL), Face-to-face lectures and discussions, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), On-the-job education and training (OJET).
This flexible format ensures that interns can balance their studies with ongoing work commitments or other income-generating projects in the informal sector. By dedicating a few days per week to on-the-job education and attachment requirements, they can continue earning a living while advancing their professional skills.
ZADENU is aimed at uplifting the often-overlooked "foot soldiers" of Zimbabwe's dental care sector and beyond. The ZADENU curriculum is designed to produce graduates who are not only proficient in oral health chairside dental assisting or nursing but also skilled community health workers. This integrated approach encompasses training in areas such as: Mother and child health education, Child care, HIV/AIDS prevention, Palliative care, Nutrition awareness and Hygiene and sanitation education.
We take pride in offering a warm, friendly, and accommodating learning environment where adult education is prioritized, and every learner is valued.
5 O-Level passes including: English Language, Mathematics, Science
Also available: In-house National Diploma for those who don’t qualify for HEXCO Diploma
