@cynthiaikechukwu
Compassionate Registered Nurse with BSN and internship experience in maternal-child health, oncology, dialysis, and emergency care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Registered Nurse (BSN, RN, RM, RPHN) focused on patient-centered, safe, evidence-based care. After completing a one-year internship at University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), I developed strong hands-on competence in clinical assessment, maternal-child health, dialysis care, oncology nursing, surgical support, and emergency response.
I work effectively within multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality outcomes across diverse units, supporting pre- and post-operative care, wound dressing, medication safety, and real-time stabilization during critical situations. I’m also committed to health education and clinical documentation, bringing a calm, communicative approach to patient counselling, education, and discharge planning.
