Esther Okoba
@estherokoba
Compassionate Labor and Delivery nurse with extensive clinical experience.
What I'm looking for
I am an excellent team player and a highly efficient postpartum and Labor Delivery nurse with over 2.7 years of experience in a hospital environment. My expertise encompasses all aspects of labor and delivery, antepartum, postpartum, neonatal care, and breastfeeding support. I have honed my skills as a circulating nurse during cesarean sections and possess exceptional critical thinking abilities, particularly in fast-paced, high-tension settings.
Throughout my career, I have worked diligently to provide support for women before, during, and after the delivery of their babies. I advocate for my patients and ensure their needs are met by conducting thorough interviews to obtain medical and allergy histories. My clinical experience includes working as a Labor and Delivery Travel Nurse and a Postpartum/Labor and Delivery Nurse, where I developed strong phlebotomy skills and the ability to monitor fetal heart rates effectively.
