KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a caring, empathetic registered nurse with 8 years of experience delivering high-quality patient care in medical-surgical clinical settings. I’m known for patient assessment, individualized care plans, and clear communication that keeps patients and families supported.
My strengths include medication management and pharmacologic care (8 years), efficient infection prevention and control, patient monitoring, and accurate documentation using an electronic health record management system. I provide safe, high-alert medication administration (including insulin, anticoagulants, and opioids) and manage IV therapy, including peripheral IV insertion, IV fluid management, and blood transfusion.
I also bring deep perioperative and wound expertise, with preoperative and postoperative care for 5 years and wound management for 9 years. I handle complex wound types (ostomies, pressure injuries, surgical and diabetic wounds) and provide respiratory care (oxygen administration, suctioning, nebulizations, and tracheostomy care), as well as NG tube insertion and tube feedings.
