What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my nursing skills in community health and patient education, fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with extensive experience in critical care and community health. Currently, I work at Lenmed Bokamoso Private Hospital in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where I provide bedside care to critically ill children. My responsibilities include monitoring patients, administering medications, and collaborating with doctors to ensure optimal patient outcomes. I take pride in educating families about medical procedures and care, fostering a supportive environment for both patients and their caregivers.

Previously, I served as a Community TB/HIV Project Coordinator at BOCAIP, where I successfully managed a significant budget and coordinated various health initiatives. My role involved planning and supervising project activities, ensuring alignment with strategic goals, and facilitating training for service providers. I have a strong background in nursing, having worked in various capacities, including general nursing and specialized roles in community health. My commitment to patient care and community health drives my professional journey.
