EIRRENN OFTIAL
Registered Nurse
Singapore
Summary
I Graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from Lyceum University of the Philippines. I worked for two years in the Provincial Hospital as a NICU, OB-GYNE, Adult Medical Surgical Area. Currently I am on my 11th year as a Nurse in Singapore. I had been assigned in the adult surgical ward specializing in gastro and ENT cases which had enriched my nursing knowledge. To highlight a few, I was able to manage patients with stoma, to care for bariatric patient pre and post op, to carry out pre transplant work up for liver transplant patients, and to care for patient with tracheostomy. However, the most challenging and rewarding experience I have was being a nurse at the COVID-19 ward.
