I'm currently working as a WOCN and looking for a WOCN job in the Richmond VA area, but haven't seen much of anything. Most of the WOCN's I know got their job at the place they were already working, or by word of mouth. I'm not sure how best to go about this. Applying for staff nurse jobs in the past was pretty easy, but this seems to be a different ballgame. Anyone use Monster.com? Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

woundnurse4u 28 Posts Feb 20, 2016 I went to Indeed.com to find my new job. I found that it was easy to navigate and filter and I used some basic search words to find the types of jobs I was interested in and also by location. I started by looking for wound care jobs but ended up looking outside of wound care. I ended up leaving the world of wound and ostomy care because I decided to try something entirely different. I did wound and ostomy care for 12 years but I think it was time for a change. I will never say I wasn't challenged though.
