SUMMARY
A registered nurse with a total of 3 years of experience working in various setting. My career started when I came to Lagos, Nigeria, after acquiring a registered midwife certificate in 2018. I have taken deliveries and also assisted in surgeries like caesarian section, laparotomy, salpigostomy.
I have worked in the neonatal intensive care unit where I specialized in the care of ill and premature babies. I was able to transition easily to my current position in a Chinese facility as the head nurse.
I am a very hardworking person who strives to be the best at anything I set my mind to and I am prepared to learn as much as I can to be successful.
I have excellent communication skills and I am very professional and able to communicate with all different levels of people. I believe that customer service is very important and I like to treat people how I would like to be treated myself.
