Time to start planning ahead for your vacations! Please link me on my website to let me know where/when you are staying and feel free to leave any significant medical history you think I should know. I provide triage 24/7 nursing services to help triage your needs in illness or injury. I have a physician on-call and ambulance options so we can make a plan. I will see you and contact physician if need be or get you through the night until you can be seen the next day if possible. It can be scary being out of the country and be unprepared when an unexpected illness/injury happens. I do my best to be available for all calls but know it is busy season so we must plan ahead. I also do other concierge services such as elder/child sitting (for illness or so you are free for an evening out or day trip), personal shopping, pet sitting, and I can do blood pressure/blood glucose tests if you need help in a pinch day or night! I carry my bag of basic supplies and equipment for my nursing visits. The physicians are happy to have me on the ground helping cover calls and we work together to pull it together during the night in Negril. It is my passion to be there as much as possible to make visitors feel comfortable and safe during their stay, when the healthcare center and clinics are closed in the early evening! I also do work at the local clinic when needed which keeps me in touch with local Jamaicans to help after hours. I am available for appointments for basic nursing needs/assessments. I will have a location for this during the high season, thanks to a local hotel on the beach who also wishes their visitors to have services for their guests! I will use this site for private visits as they are needed. I take donations of wheelchairs and walkers if nthey come through and can be left behind also. Did you know you are allowed these if you claim they are "medically needed" for your trip, to come through without issue or fees (medical supplies/equipment) There is always someone looking for a chair or walker and cannot afford it!
For those of you who haven't met me yet, I have been in Negril most of each year since 2012, have 2 children and a fifth grandchild on the way in Minnesota and just sold my home there. I have 30+yrs in healthcare and have worked in clinics, nursing homes and mostly in hospitals, the last one was 600+ beds and had a heliport. I have worked in dialysis, cardiac, obstectrics, triage and many more areas. My last ten yrs were in nursing administration running the hospital on the evening/night shift when all upper management was gone. I am comfortable to jump in and make decisions and make a plan with what resources we have on hand, and as we know every night in Negril our resources change, so we must do the best we can do at that moment! PLANNING is the key here! See you pon di rock!
