Dedicated Registered Nurse specializing in emergency assessment, triage, and patient stabilization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Dedicated Registered Nurse with strong clinical experience in emergency and general nursing practice. I’m committed to delivering safe, compassionate, patient-centered care in fast-paced settings.
In my Locum Registered Nurse role in the A&E Department at The Nairobi South Hospital, I performed triage, rapid assessment, and stabilization of critically ill patients. I monitored vital signs, administered medications, documented care accurately, and responded promptly to emergencies while maintaining high safety standards.
As a Staff Registered Nurse at St. Michael Nursing Home, I delivered nursing care in outpatient and inpatient units. I managed wound care, medication administration, hygiene, and vital monitoring, and collaborated with clinicians to develop and implement patient care plans.
I built my clinical foundation through a Nursing Intern rotation at Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral & Research Hospital (KUTRRH), moving across medical, surgical, pediatric, maternity, and emergency units. I’m also pursuing further nursing studies at Cicely McDonell School of Nursing, and I bring adaptability, professionalism, and multidisciplinary teamwork to every shift.
