Empathic registered nurse dedicated to improving patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a patient-focused and empathic registered nurse with over two years of experience in various medical settings, including emergency care, renal care, and surgical recovery. My commitment to delivering compassionate care is complemented by my strong knowledge of nursing standards and practices. I have built a reputation for establishing a great rapport with patients and medical providers, ensuring that patients feel informed and comfortable during their care.
Throughout my career, I have worked in several hospitals, including Kamuzu Central Hospital and Mchinji District Hospital, where I have honed my skills in patient assessment, monitoring vital signs, and administering medications. My experience in both surgical and dialysis units has equipped me with the ability to respond effectively to emergency situations and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive care plans. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improving the lives of my patients through hard work and compassion.
