Mekonnen Solomon Teshome

Intensive care nurse at Adama University Hospital

🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia
Adama University Hospital
Since 1993
English, Amharic

I've been a nurse for 33 years, most of them in intensive care at Adama University Hospital in Adama. 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 garden badly but happily. I'm still learning every day.

I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.
