What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote telehealth or virtual care role where I can run telephone triage, perform independent clinical assessment, and use clear documentation to support safe decision-making for patients—calmly and confidently.

I’m a Registered Nurse with over five years of experience across acute, ICU, emergency, paediatric, and maternity settings, and I’m seeking a remote telehealth or virtual care role. I’m fully registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA #162466) and immediately available to start.

I’m known for recognising acute patient deterioration early and acting on it independently—a skill built through high-acuity clinical environments in both the UK and Nigeria. I bring calm, self-directed confidence to clinical decision-making without direct supervision.

In my recent role in a 23-bed high acuity residential and rehabilitation unit, I performed thorough head to toe assessments each shift and made time-sensitive decisions. I escalated clearly using SBAR, coordinated with the on-call team, managed medications via all routes, maintained detailed electronic documentation using Connect Care, and responded to emergencies until specialist help arrived.

Across my acute care experience at University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, I triaged and monitored adult and paediatric patients, safely managed complex medication regimens, and provided pre and post operative care. I also support continuity of care through interdisciplinary collaboration, patient and family education, mentoring, and audit-driven improvement in areas like medication safety, falls prevention, and skin integrity.
