Subject: wound nurses
I seen some discussion about wound
nurses. Do a lot of you have wound nurses? Are they Certified
Wound Specialists? Or WOCN nurses??? Or are they just nurses in your
facility that you have titled as your “wound”nurse. Just curious.
I have a lot of responsibilities in our facility in regards to skin issues and
questions but I am not certified as a “wound nurse”. I would love
to be but doubt that our facility would part with me as a care plan MDS
coordinator and second of all it is very costly to become a WOCN nurse.
If you have a wound nurse or
specialist…. How do you utilize them in your facility???

Most of
us with "wound nurses" just have a nurse who is stuck with doing the "wound
care", or doing rounds w/ the wound doc. Very few wound care nurses are
certified enterostomal nurses.
