The career possibilities for practicing nurses have never been greater or more exciting. The potential to study and specialize in your own area of interest allows you to develop your skills in that area, improve your job satisfaction, and shape your own career.

Nurses: Why Wound Certification is Right for You

The continuing increase in life expectancy and corresponding rise in levels of chronic illness have combined to create a greater challenge for wound care specialists than ever before. Wound care is no longer the ‘Cinderella’ of the nursing world. Indeed, recent advances in dressings and techniques make this area one of the most dynamic and exciting areas of nursing.

 

Becoming certified in wound care allows you to join a multitude of professionals at the heart of this revolution, and to use your expertise and skill to make a real difference to patients’ lives every day.

  1. Improve the quality of wound care for your patients – Learn how to use evidence-based practices to determine the best way to treat your patient’s wounds. Apply the most advanced wound care knowledge for the benefit of your patients.
  2. Join a multidisciplinary network of wound specialists – Collaborate with physicians, therapists, nurses and others who share the common goal of advancing the practice of wound management.
  3. Establish yourself as an expert in a fast-growing area – Becoming certified as a wound care specialist tells your patients, colleagues and employer that you have completed a demanding course of study, and have current and specialized expertise in the area.
  4. Enjoy the benefits of broader career options – Experience a wider range of job opportunities in comparison to colleagues who have no specialization. Specialization will also allow you to command a higher salary.
  5. Apply the principle of cost containment in your practice – Learn how to apply cost-effective strategies in wound management, saving precious resources and putting yourself in high demand by employers.
  6. Protect yourself legally – Give yourself added protection against litigation by using standard-based and evidence-based practices. Learn how to rationalize care and be able to ensure that care offered is based on the standards set by Medicare and other government bodies.

Get Wound Care Certified

By becoming certified in wound care, you stand apart from your colleagues as a specialist with advanced skills in patient care, teaching, and leadership; skills which are invaluable to you, your patients, and your employer. Specialize in wound care and leave the others behind.
