What I'm looking for

I am seeking nursing or caregiver-education roles in Japan with opportunities to apply clinical skills, teach caregivers, work in team-focused environments, and grow professionally.

I am a Registered Nurse with seven years of clinical experience across emergency, medical and surgical wards, and a part-time English teacher in Tokushima. I combine hands-on bedside nursing skills with documentation, patient assessment and the use of critical care equipment.

I have managed pre- and post-operative care for orthopedic, urology and general surgery patients, worked in a high-acuity emergency department, and served as a Nursing In-Charge. I also lecture caregivers at national levels, sharing practical skills in wound, stoma and acute trauma care.

I am team-oriented, a strong patient advocate, and eager to continue my career in Japan where I can contribute clinical expertise, teaching experience, and a commitment to continuous learning and safe patient care.
