wound care specialtyLooking for a way to distinguish yourself in your career? A wound care specialty may be a great fit for you. A wound care specialty allows you to focus on one area and become an expert in that one area, rather than being a generalist in many different areas. By obtaining a wound care specialty you show your employer that you are serious about moving ahead and you deserve their respect and recognition.

Opportunities for wound care nurses

A wound care specialty affords nurses the opportunity to work in many settings including:

  • Acute care– there is high demand for nurses with a wound care specialty in acute care to care for medical and surgical patients with acute and chronic wounds.
  • Long term care- nursing homes and other long term care facilities have the highest proportion of elderly patients, who often have chronic wounds complicated by comorbidities. Wound care nurses are in high demand is these facilities.
  • Home care– these days, patients are being discharged home with wounds requiring ongoing care for prolonged periods of time. Home care nurses see patients in their homes and are responsible for planning and implementing a wound care plan.

Wound care education for nurses

Nurses of all levels can benefit from wound care education. WoundEducators.com offers wound care courses geared towards your specific level of education:

  • CNAs/MAs– certified nursing assistants and medical assistants can take the basic wound care certification course, which will prepare you for national certification.
