I'm currently a CNA, but I'm starting nursing school come August. I work in a long-term facility, so I see a lot of pressure sores, and one of my favorite things to do is to help out the wound care nurse. Mostly, I just hold the patient in position, but it's fascinating to me to see the deeper structures under the skin. I'm also one of those people who loved peeling away the dead skin from a sunburn, so debridement is also very satisfying to me.

[@edlee2336]

Yes I feel the same! I always jump to help the wound nurse and now I’m fascinated with everything they do.

[@brianna094]

@@edlee2336 I'm a caregiver and I love wound care too! I deal mostly with pressure sores and it's so satisfying to remove the duoderm and see the skin healed underneath... I was amazed to find out that wounds heal with moisture versus with dry air. It's so interesting

[@jerisalmon2764]

LPNs can become certified as well.

[@deborahdunn8207]

I am a nurse recruiter and this really was a great over view of this field. Well done!

[@JudyHart1]

My hubs was in the various medical facilities for 152 days, wound care was the highlight of my day every day. Just fascinating to see the wounds change and improve. If I ever decided to become a nurse, this would be what I was most interested in.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hi Judy :) Wound care nursing is indeed very awesome! The nurses I know who are wound care nurses LOVE it. I hope your husband is doing better....that had to be a rough 152 days for both him and you. Thank you for watching the video and for sharing your experience!

[@JudyHart1]

Thanks, he's doing great. There, of course, were days, but once he got out he's done great.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Judy Hart That is very good to hear! Thank you for letting me know :)

i was put in a medical coma to get skin grafts on my legs-when i woke up 2 months later i had a huge bedsore on my coccyx from not moving me cause of the skingrafts on my legs. it took months to heal and before it got better it tunneled to my spine. i was on iv meds 3 times a day for 6 weeks. they put a vacc on it but it didnt help much so they decided to take it off. i started to heal up after. was a crazy few months. my woundcare team was so amazing. since i couldnt see it myself they always explained it, they would have to change the dressing everyday and measure and compare and pack it. the wound care team was amazing at freeport hospital. they helped me out of a really bad time

[@MaryBearBoo]

Thank you for your videos! I am starting nursing school in the fall and I've been reading on your website and watching your videos and they are so helpful!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Mary Doutrich Hey Mary :) Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. That is so awesome you will be starting nursing school this fall....I know you have to be very excited. I'm glad you are finding the website and videos helpful. I hope my KZbin channel and website continue to help you through your journey of becoming a nurse. You will have to keep me updated as you go through the program!

[@shelbyhoben1321]

I live in Canada and LPNs can take the course and get certified.

[@shirominiluka1084]

Can u plz make a video on types of wound dressings

[@estefany5869]

You should do a video about surgical/wound assessments please.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you for watching the videos. Yes, I hope to add this in the future :)

[@ldyluv6988]

I would love to do this!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+ldyluv6988 Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, wound care nursing is a great field and nurses love this specialty!

[@jhomariam7173]

Thank you for sharing to us your skills

[@jojoyce7605]

I am an LPN can I get a certification to be a wound care nurse?

[@evaeve2152]

jo joyce Yes. I was with one last week. You would need two years of experience to get your certification regardless if your an LPN or RN. They can get paid starting at $27-$34 hourly as an LPN. This particular LPN work at a nursing home and is the only wound care nurse.

[@christinefiorentino943]

WCEI trains all nursing levels and PTs, OTs, MDs, and RDs.

[@kiwanaswaby8290]

@@evaeve2152 hi...! I know this is a year ago.. but do you have any info on the school..or class to take for wound care?.

[@thahiraa958]

Hai mam... your videos are excellent... could you pls tell me how i can become a wound care nurse???what is the steps and how much is the expense???thank u

[@haleytran2398]

I find so much interest in wound care nursing. I’ve been a CNA for almost 10 years and I lack confidence in myself that I’d be a good nurse, mostly out of fear & the stress I see some nurses go through. Is this a legitimate reason to not go to nursing school?

[@navajo237]

I am an EMT and felt the same way you did. I am in LPN school right now and have about 10 fellow classmates who are CNA's. I can honestly say they are some of the best students in our class. They volunteer first to show skills in the lab, and do well on test. You should absolutely consider going to nursing school. You can do it. Don't let fear or anxiety stop you.

[@jessicasilvesterlpn5703]

Do it! Some nurses dont handle stress well. You have a leg up already since youre a CNA. :)

[@amandeep2815]

Hi I am doing RPn exam preparation but I want to become a wound care nurse. How I can do that . Plz tell me mam. Where I can do job as a wound care in future

[@deannadustin9280]

i have always felt like ive been called to be a nurse but tried to ignore it because i can be sensitive to open wounds(large wounds). would a career as an RN still be possible? i would love to focus in pediatrics or labor and delivery

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Deanna Dustin Hi Deanna :) Yes, I definitely think you can still enter nursing. You will see some wounds but many are sutured or have wound vacs (if not they tend to be rather small to medium in size)....randomly you may see crazy large wounds but it really depends on where you work. Overall, you will become desensitized to it after awhile. I wouldn't let this hold you back. I wish you the best :)

[@EguuMohammad]

I am a nurse very God ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cabdilaahidalmar9615]

thanks for your teaching but can you submitted any lectures about how to use autoclave and how to prevent transmission of pathogen through instrument

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Cabdilaahi Dalmar Thank you so much for your comment and question! I'm not familiar with how to use an autoclave or the specific techniques in keeping instruments clean....this is not my nursing specialty and I've never been trained to do this. -Sarah

[@mengyaojiang4569]

thank you very much for your video

[@jacquelineakintobi1881]

Great video,very informational.

[@melman7738]

can we work in wound care right after graduating?

[@manishashrestha248]

Can Tissue viability nurses in uk is similar to this?

[@yasmawilliamsonlpn3854]

Quick question so a LPN cant be a wound care Nurse?

[@shelbyhoben1321]

Yasma Williamson LPN , in Canada we can.

[@khiadreams4430]

They prefer a RN because they have to assess and LPN’s can’t do that.

[@datsummerchik]

I’ve seen LVNS do it

[@woundgirl1]

I am an LPN and a WCC a wound care certified nurse through an accredited program WCEI and took the national credentialing exam.

[@blueisaleaf2127]

From what I am learning LPNs assist with stable patients. I think it depends on where you live though. And how the wound identifies someone if they are stable or not
