I work for the VHA in wound care. We have both WCC Wound Care Certified (wound care educators) and WCN, WCON certified nurses Both are magnet approved and I believe Accepted in all nursing organizations. Magnet is the big one that the government likes. WCN has a WTA-C program that my work paid for. It is an entry level certification and is very good. It does not allow debridements with sharps etc. That would require a BSN and more training such as WOCN. Plus would depend on your state scope of practice. I see PT/ OT practicing with WCC in outpatient clinics as well. WCC is something an ADN, LPN, PT/OT can do. I think it would greatly depend on what degree you have, and what is desired in your area. Scope of practice is the same but dictated more on your states requirements. I work under WOCN, MD, NP and report to them directly. I also coordinate care with Podiatry and Vascular MD.
