Wound Care Frustration

This situation seems to happen a lot in our facility. Like just yesterday for example. I went to change a dressing to a residents lower extremity, and its a BID change. Hadnt been changed since friday 2.23.07. This wound is a stage II to stage III ulcer. Small, but irregardless. I get so frustrated that these nurses continue to overlook, but sign off, for treatments. It makes me sad to think that they just dont care. I know we all forget to do something once and a while, getting busy and such, but this is a 19 res. facility. It can all get done in one day. Anyway, I brought it to the attention of my don, so hopefully people will be more aware of resident care. Thanks for those of you who took the time to read this..
