What I'm looking for
I am a licensed Kenyan Registered Nurse & Midwife with hands-on experience in busy medical-surgical wards, delivering compassionate, patient-centered care and coordinating multidisciplinary treatment plans.
I have worked at Kiambu Level V County Referral Hospital and Coptic Mission Hospital, managing complex medical and critical-care patients, monitoring vitals, interpreting diagnostics, and responding to life-saving situations.
My practice emphasizes infection prevention, thorough documentation, wound and catheter care, intravenous medication administration, and development of individualized nursing care plans while mentoring students and collaborating with clinical teams.
