Professional Nurse with broad occupational health and HIV case management experience, delivering patient-focused clinical and administrative care.
What I'm looking for
Passionate Professional nurse. Qualified in 1994, I gained vast experience from various sectors in the medical field, and the experience over the years has modelled and developed my skills and professional career.
From SEPTEMBER 2020 to the present, I work as a Professional Nurse - Locum (African Bank/ Sheq management, Midrand), supporting COVID Occupational health risk assessment, COVID wellness daily screening, and referral to Dr Fitness assessment, as well as clinic administration and reporting. As an Occupational health sister - Locum (Life Occupational Health, Longmeadow - Kempton park), I performed spirometric and audiometric tests, occupational health risk assessment, wellness screening, medical baselines and periodic physical assessments, diagnosis, dispensing of medication, referrals, and administration.
I also bring strong community and HIV program experience, including CBCT home based care where I handled delegation & administration, stock management & control, in-service training, counseling supervision, quality assurance, CD 4counts and baseline bloods with PIMA, and TB & STI screening. Earlier roles expanded my impact into Project & Training Management and HIV case management, including HIV counseling and management of positive individuals on PRE-HAART and HAART stages, follow up on treatment and doctors appointments, and initiation and monitoring of ARV regimes.
