What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my nursing skills while providing compassionate care to patients in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with a strong background in patient care, particularly in dialysis and clinical settings. My experience spans several years, during which I have developed a reputation for building rapport with patients and their families, ensuring they feel informed and comfortable throughout their treatment journey.

Currently, I work as a Dialysis Nurse, where I manage the care of patients undergoing dialysis, including monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, and educating patients on kidney disease management. My previous experience in various clinical settings has equipped me with a diverse skill set, allowing me to adapt to different medical environments and provide high-quality care.

I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, holding certifications in Basic Life Support and being licensed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of my patients through compassionate care and education.
