What I'm looking for

I seek a Company Nurse role focused on workplace health, safety, and employee well-being, in a collaborative, patient-centered environment with opportunities to apply emergency and perioperative skills and grow professionally.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over five years of clinical experience across emergency, theatre, paediatric, and general ward settings. I deliver patient assessment, emergency response, medication administration, perioperative support and accurate clinical documentation while upholding safety and confidentiality.

My practice emphasizes teamwork, clear communication and evidence-based care; notable achievements include triaging high-volume emergency cases, stabilizing critical patients, providing perioperative assistance in theatre/PACU, and reducing outpatient wait times through efficient coordination. I hold active registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria and certifications in BLS, ECG, and emergency care.
