Lyner Naswa
@lynernaswa
Registered nurse focused on oncology and patient-centered, evidence-based care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a passionate, organization-minded nurse recognized for strong communication and exceptional service that enhances patient care. With a Bachelors of science in nursing and training through community health nursing, I bring hands-on experience across emergency/inpatient/maternity/newborn and oncology settings.
As a certified registered nurse, I assess and monitor patients’ physical condition, maintain accurate documentation, and support patients and families through complex journeys like cancer diagnosis and treatment. I’m confident administering and supporting chemotherapy care, including recognizing reactions/complications, advising patients on side effects, and ensuring infection control—while also providing emergency support measures such as CPR and ACLS.
