“It means a lot for me to have that credential behind my name. It means that physicians, other nurses, they see me as an expert. I’m a go-to person now when it comes to all things wounds.”
Missy W., RN, WCC, OMS
Wound Program Director
“I would absolutely recommend taking the wound care certification course. I thought I knew what I was doing before the course, but after the course, I was way more confident and I could just build on those skills after that. I don’t think anybody should be doing wound care without the certification. It just adds so much to your knowledge and confidence and knowing what you’re doing to treat the wounds. And since my colleague and both I got certified, our wound care rates are through the roof– they’re just amazing!”
Tara S., FNP, WCC
Carroll County Memorial Hospital
