Irene Peace Andow
@irenepeaceandow
Nursing Officer delivering preventive care, education, and reliable patient documentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, focused on combining clinical confidence with structured, detail-driven workplace support. I’m experienced in administrative support, records management, documentation, staff coordination, customer service, and office operations.
In my Executive Assistant role at Alive and Thrive NGO, Abuja, I coordinated logistics for quarterly Board and Committee meetings for 12 board members and managed board portal workflows (OnBoard/Diligent). I drafted agendas, tracked action items for the CEO and Board, and improved follow-through from 65% to 92%, while also building a document management system in SharePoint/Drive that reduced retrieval time by 50% for leadership.
As a Nursing Officer with Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board, I deliver preventive care like immunizations and screenings, provide health education and promotion, take vital signs, and offer reproductive health and nutrition services. I also treat minor illnesses and injuries, maintain patient records and reports, and refer patients to specialists when needed—continuing to apply the same accuracy and confidentiality across every setting I work in.
