What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused clinical nursing role in a collaborative hospital setting to apply emergency, pediatric and medical-surgical skills, continue professional development, and improve patient outcomes.

I am a registered nurse with four years of clinical experience delivering bedside, emergency and ward-based care at a district hospital. I hold a Diploma in Nursing and have advanced training in HIV care.

I have worked across casualty, children’s, female and male medical wards, performing triage, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and managing acute and chronic cases. I am skilled in cannulation, catheterisation, nasogastric tube insertion and oxygen therapy, and I ensure timely, compassionate care for every patient.

I routinely document procedures on nursing cardex, manage pediatric nutrition protocols (F-75/F-100), and operate equipment including IV pumps, feeding pumps, cardiac monitors, nebulizers and pulse oximeters. I follow strict infection-control and sterilization procedures and prioritize patient privacy and collaboration with colleagues.

I am a hardworking, reliable and compassionate clinician who values teamwork and continuous learning. I am focused on improving patient outcomes through attentive bedside care and practical clinical skills, and I welcome opportunities to grow within a supportive hospital environment.
