About Nwanneka Uchechukwu, RN

Nurse-written guidance on aging and long-term care from an Illinois RN with 15 years of patient care experience.

Hi, I’m Nwanneka Uchechukwu

I’m a registered nurse licensed in Illinois, with 15 years of experience in patient care: 8 years as a certified nursing assistant and 7 years as an RN. Much of that time has been spent in nursing homes, caring for older adults and supporting their families.

In that work, I saw the same thing again and again. Families were doing their best during some of the hardest moments of their lives, but they were handed medical terms, rushed explanations, and confusing paperwork. They often did not know what to ask, what to watch for, or what to expect.

Sundrg Health exists to close that gap.

My background

 

    • Registered Nurse (RN), licensed in Illinois, with an Associate Degree in Nursing

    • Certified Nursing Assistant for 8 years before becoming an RN

    • Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mass Communication in Nigeria, specializing in journalism and public relations

    • Experience in [nursing homes / long-term care / Med Surg]

My communication training taught me to research carefully, write clearly, and explain complex information to everyday readers. Nursing taught me what families actually need to know. This site brings the two together.

How I write

I use trusted sources such as Medicare.gov, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute on Aging, and I update articles when rules or guidance change. I do not share information about real residents or patients.

Work with me

I’m available for freelance health writing, newsletters, and medical content review for senior-care and healthcare organizations. [Contact link]
