Hi everyone. Well it's been almost 2 months since I have started home care. It is great! I decided to switch from case manager to per diem though. I like the freedom of choosing the days I can work. I average about 10 miles a day and see about 5 patients per day.
We have had tons of snow here in New England, and that has been a challenge to drive through!
I am looking for web sites or books on wound care. Pictures, decriptive terms etc. Does anyone have anything they can share!?
Thanks, Paula

I just started HH...I love it too. Thanks for the info, NrsKaren. We have an ostomy-wound-care RN specialist for HH, but the info is very helpful also.
