Asha Jama

I worked to promote youth empowerment in rural areas in Nigeria through running peer education, awareness rising, and training sessions and working in schools and youth clubs.

During my three years of placement my duties as a student nurse was to provide patient care.
Patient care encompasses the following:
•Carrying out physical examinations on patients
•Receiving and giving verbal reports on each patients at start/end of each clinical shift.
•Coordinating patient care with other hospital professionals
•Preparing, distributing and administering medication
•Helping with discharge planning as well as dealing with admissions.
•Bathing patients and changing beds.
•Dressing and feeding patients.

I have provided quality nursing care to a large, transient group of patients of all ages, such as patients from intensive care, emergency situation and paediatric patients and others needing interventional radiology procedures . As a nurse I inform the radiologist of any unusual patient needs and perform specialized nursing duties, such as checking their medication, vital signs, nil by mouth status, laboratory results and history to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the planned procedure. As an IR Nurse I am involved in administrating sedation and analgesia during the procedures and closely monitor patients with cardiac & pulse oximeters. As an IR nurse I am certified in conscious sedation and advance cardiac life support. I am able to think critically, correlate vital signs and decide whether what is occurring is part of the procedure or an emergency that needs to be acted upon quickly. As a nurse I have devoted a lot of time on quality improvement and infection control programs: collecting data, keeping records and reporting results. I've utilize skills employed in many other nursing specialties and incorporate them in the radiology setting.

When procedures are more complex and a scrub nurse is required, I provide assistance to the radiologist as a qualified scrub nurse. During post procedure monitoring I observe for signs and symptoms of complications such as Bleeding from the puncture site and/or surrounding area, pain and changes in mental status and vital signs. I am a spokesperson for patient care and a teacher to other radiology staff members on patient care issues.
