About Nurse to the rescue
Nurse to the Rescue was founded in 2016 by Dalene Jordaan, a professional nurse with many years of experience in first aid, caregiver training and residential care management.
The organisation was established alongside a close friend, Leonie Enslin, with an initial focus on first aid training and primary healthcare. Through daily interaction with families and caregivers, it became clear how often people were left to manage complex care situations without sufficient guidance, preparation or support.
Dalene recognised that the quality of care — whether at home or in a facility — depends on the knowledge, confidence and structure provided to the caregiver. This conviction led to a strong emphasis on practical, real-world training and the development of structured caregiver education programmes.
