What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to enhance patient care and contribute to healthcare improvement.

I am a dedicated nursing officer intern with a strong commitment to maintaining high-quality care in healthcare settings. My experience includes coordinating health services, enforcing health and safety standards, and ensuring person-centered care through ongoing evaluation of treatment plans. I have successfully managed multiple patients, administered medication, and communicated effectively with patients and their families regarding treatment options.

Throughout my internships at Nyamira County Teaching and Referral Hospital and Mwea County Hospital, I have collaborated with healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive patient care plans and participated in community outreach initiatives. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Public Health from Kenyatta University, where I graduated with a pass. I am fluent in English, Swahili, and French, which enhances my ability to communicate with diverse patient populations.
