What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values compassionate patient care and teamwork.

I am a dedicated nursing professional with over 25 years of experience in various healthcare settings, currently serving as a Principal Nursing Officer at the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Enugu, Nigeria. My journey in nursing began as a Staff Nurse at Kings Hospital and Maternity, where I honed my skills in patient care and developed a strong foundation in nursing practices.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in patient care, with a focus on individualized treatment and empathetic communication. I have extensive experience in managing complex patient needs, including monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and providing health education. My training as a Registered Orthopaedic Nurse and Registered Midwife has equipped me with specialized skills that enhance my ability to deliver comprehensive care.

In addition to my clinical expertise, I possess strong interpersonal skills that allow me to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes patient safety and quality care. I am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges in the healthcare field.
