Student Testimonials

The wound care course offered by Wound Educators is a remarkable, well laid out course.  The videos and supporting materials are presented in a progressive manner beginning with basic skin anatomy and building each session to incorporate everything needed to be confident in the knowledge of wound types, wound healing and methods of treatment.  This course well prepares an individual to be able to challenge the wound care certification exam and to perform confidently in the clinical environment.

I found this course to be very well organised and clearly presented.  The learning objectives and educational materials were so easy to follow. And the videos were also awesome to watch and I was able to review them as often as needed. Additionally, the administrative support team was very cordial and responsive to any questions or concerns that came about from the start of registration to last days to finish up the course. I’m so glad that I picked Wound Educators!!!

Happy to report that I passed the exam today! I appreciate the program and most of all, I appreciate Karen for being so encouraging!

My nursing shift schedule is unpredictable and the wound certification course provided me with the flexibility to work at my pace. All the material I needed was included in the program.

This online course Online offered flexibility. I was able to study any time I wanted. This course gave me the flexibility to spend time with family and friends.

The program afforded me the opportunity to review the lesson, reading material, test questions as often as deemed necessary.  When I had questions I would contact the Wound Educators by phone. I was cordially greeted by Karen who assisted me and addressed all of my questions.

I have recommended this Wound Certification Course to family and my co-workers in the nursing field.

The Wound Certification Course presented therapeutics that improve wound healing and resolve impaired wounds. The factors discussed include oxygenation, infection, age, and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. In addition, other factors when assessing a wound included identify the wound location, determine the cause of the wound, evaluate for foreign bodies or neoplastic processes, determine the stage of the wound, evaluate and measure the depth, length, and width of the wound concurrently with key issues of effective wound management. Also included were key universally recognized wound management principles and principals of wound healing.

 

I would recommend taking the course to advance in your career and become more knowledgeable of wounds and management of wounds. I was able to take the course at my own pace and I feel more confident with my wound assessment skills.

This class was useful and interesting. The length, and depth, were appropriate for my goal,  which was to perform wound care rounds in a skilled nursing/long term care facility. The staff were helpful; my available time to work on the course was limited and interrupted by work,  and I needed help several times to get back into the coursework. They were respectful and patient. I have recommended this course to several colleagues and will continue to do so.

I thought the course was very interesting and the information has already helped me in my every day practice as a med/surg nurse. The course was well organized - it was great to be able to print out the course outline and key terms to follow along. I thought the modules were user friendly and the workload was manageable. I loved that it’s at your own pace!

The contents were comprehensive yet easy to understand after careful viewing and application to how we provide wound care for our patients. Good review of the A &P of the integumentary system. The outline and the notes from the presentations were helpful before taking the quizzes and the final exam. I’ve been in the profession for 40+ years, I will pass the torch to the younger generation who have completed the advanced course to pursue certification.

 

I thought the wound care course was great!!  I will admit that it was not easy but I feel I learned a lot and I am ready to take the exam and pursue a new position in the Wound Care Clinic here at Tamarack Health in Ashland, WI.   Thank you for what you do.  I am very appreciative.

I enjoyed taking this wound care class.  I learned a lot!  I enjoyed being able to access it at my own pace and on my own schedule and I liked the fact that I could go back and watch the lessons and retake the tests as many times as needed.  I liked the outline provided and the flashcards as well as the recommended chapters to review.  I enjoyed the lessons.  I do wish there was more on nutrition since that is my back ground.  Also, since I do not have a nursing background, it would be helpful to have more instructional videos on how providers perform certain techniques such as dressing changes, cleansing, etc.
