REGISTERED NURSE: PERI-OPERATIVE (Reg. No.: PON 264) MENTAL NURSE (Reg. No.: RMN 1715)

SUMMARY

An experienced Registered Nurse with specialties in Mental health and Peri-operative Nursing, with a total of 18 years of experience. I am focused on ensuring optimum patients’ safety and quality care. As a peri-operative nurse, I aim at surgical safety, patient advocacy, and good surgical outcome by ensuring the strict adherence to surgical asepsis, infection prevention and control. Also, my experience as a physician assistant has strengthened my knowledge and skill in healthcare delivery. I stand out as a nurse when it comes to exhibiting key nursing skills. I currently work autonomously, with modern equipment, to treat, monitor and record patients’ progress. My trustworthiness, both professionally and character wise has given me the mandate to be rotating in two hospitals under the same employer. I also have extensive knowledge in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), which enables me manage patients’ data appropriately and professionally. Lastly, I am a self-motivated individual poised with big dreams, and currently looking for employment with a state-of-the-art healthcare establishment in either a well-equipped or a remote work environment.
