Olokoba Opeyemi Eunice is a highly accomplished and dedicated professional in the field of nursing and healthcare education, with a remarkable career that reflects the commitment to excellence in clinical practice, public health, and academic mentorship.
As a Public Health Nurse, my focus is on addressing population-level health challenges that foster wellness and resilience in underserved communities. My role as a Nurse Educator has allowed me to translate my extensive clinical knowledge into impactful teaching, shaping the next generation of nurses and healthcare practitioners.
Being a Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) degree holder it influences my strong foundation in nursing theory and evidence-based practice, and my specialization in Maternal and Child Health Nursing has solidified my expertise in promoting the health and well-being of mothers and children across all stages of care.
I currently serve as a lecturer at the Department of Nursing Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, National Open University Abuja. I combine my academic research and professional credentials to inspire, guide, impart, and mentor my students, including midwives, thereby contributing to the growth of the nursing profession.
My career is a testament to my unwavering dedication to advancing healthcare, empowering communities, and nurturing future leaders in nursing.
