What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 4 years of experience in clinical practice, specializing in compassionate caregiving and patient-centered care. My journey in nursing has equipped me with excellent communication, critical thinking, and analytical skills, which I leverage to enhance patient outcomes and support the development of my colleagues.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various departments, including the Stroke Unit and Department of Medicine at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, where I provided comprehensive care to patients with diverse medical needs. My ability to adapt and work effectively in high-pressure situations has been instrumental in my success as a healthcare professional.

I am now seeking a challenging position in the medical department where I can further contribute to patient care and team development.
