Getachew Tesfaye Mekonnen

29 years in surgery nursing

  • 🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia
  • Jimma Children's Hospital
  • Since 1991
  • English, Amharic
I've been a nurse for 35 years, most of them in surgery at Jimma Children's Hospital in Jimma. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else. The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I walk the dog by the river.

What gifts mean to Getachew: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
