Opio Samuel Karanja

22 years in mental health nursing

  • ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ Mwanza, Mwanza, Tanzania
  • Since 1983
  • English, Swahili
I've been a nurse for 43 years, most of them in mental health at Parkside Community Hospital in Mwanza. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else. I've held a lot of hands. I wouldn't change a thing. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Opio

Some of my best friends I met on the ward.
What gifts mean to Opio: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
