What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with extensive experience in Critical Care Nursing, specializing in Trauma Care and Emergency Department patient care.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles such as Charge Nurse in the Heart and Vascular Surgical Department and have been responsible for the total care of critical patients.
