The purpose of my job is to provide professional nursing care to patients through
assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of patient care to improve
health outcomes as well as contribute to the efficient management of my ward. My top task include monitoring patients vital signs (e.g. Temperature), bathing the patient, making their bed, feeding them, obtaining their samples for laboratory investigation and dressing their wounds. I provide my patients rest and comfort, give them prescribed medication and report on their response, educating them and their relatives, providing the needed psychological support and helping them adapt to the hospital environment. Also I had to educate myself via school, workshops and conferences, social media groups, blogs and online magazines to maintain continuing personal and professional development as required to meet changing demands in care. I adhere to the health and safety policies, protocols, take care of my own safety and that the patient, relatives and staff - reporting all accidents, risk assessments and incidents, completing relevant documentation and undertaking further investigation as directed, ensuring that there is a safe, clean, pleasant and therapeutic environment for care.
