I am an experienced Nurse Practitioner
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate healthcare professional with extensive experience in nursing, particularly in primary care and tele-health. Currently, I serve as a Tele-health Nurse at Affinity Health, where I assess patients' conditions, provide treatment recommendations, and educate them about their medications. My commitment to patient care is evident in my proactive approach to ensuring first-time resolution and appropriate OTC utilization.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various clinical settings, including as a Nurse Clinician at Health Systems Trust, where I provided HIV testing and counseling, and as a Professional Nurse at Ekurhuleni Municipality, focusing on antenatal care and chronic disease management. My educational background, including a Master's in Primary Care and multiple diplomas in nursing and HIV/AIDS management, equips me with the knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality care and support to my patients.
