Deborah Gideon
@deborahgideon
Compassionate nurse/midwife delivering holistic maternal care across antenatal, labor, and postnatal stages.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated and compassionate nurse/midwife with 7 years of experience and a strong commitment to providing comprehensive, holistic care to women throughout their pregnancy journey. I focus on antenatal care, labor and delivery, and postnatal care, building rapport and providing emotional support to help women have a positive birthing experience.
In my recent role (2023–2024) at Harmony Hospital, Kaduna, I successfully provided checkups and monitored pregnant women’s health. I conducted screenings and tests for potential complications, administered prenatal vitamins and medications, monitored vital signs, performed aseptic procedures, and identified high-risk pregnancies for referral. I also supported mothers during labor and delivery and used breathing exercises and medication for pain management while adhering to national guidelines.
Previously, as a midwife with the Nassarawa State Government agency and Saving One Million Life, I conducted comprehensive history taking and physical examinations, administered prenatal screening tests, and provided education and counseling on nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices. I monitored fetal development, provided emotional support, performed vaginal deliveries for low-risk births, and recognized signs that required referral. With certifications in Basic Life Support and Advance Cardiac Life Support and clinical experience and teaching in mental health care, I bring both patient-centered care and strong communication, counseling, and nursing management skills.
