What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead teams, enhance patient care, and foster a supportive environment for staff development.

I am a highly experienced Registered Nurse with over 27 years of expertise in diverse clinical settings, including 12 years in South Africa and 15 years in Saudi Arabia. My journey in nursing has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. I excel in assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care, always focusing on evidence-based practices.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Charge Nurse and Care Manager, where I have successfully managed teams, coordinated patient treatments, and ensured compliance with safety protocols. My dedication to excellence and teamwork has allowed me to foster a compassionate environment for both patients and staff, ensuring that the highest standards of care are met.

With a strong background in geriatric care and a passion for continuous learning, I am committed to staying updated with the latest developments in nursing practices. I believe in empowering my colleagues through training and mentorship, ultimately enhancing the quality of care we provide to our patients.
