Thank you!

If floor nurses struggle so much with the dressing changes, who is teaching them on the floor? Is it the KCI rep? The wound care nurse? Or just part of orientation? Do you guys have to do ongoing competencies in wound care or dressing change? Thanks!

I'm working on a use-case scenario for a wound vac and looking for input from wound care nurses: 1) Where do KCI pumps come from at your facility? What type of facility do you work at and do they typically own or rent? 2) Where do the pumps come from for discharged patients? Home care, hospital, or DME? 3) What are typical issues that you typically encounter with wound acs along the way? for example: Difficulting sealing to periwound? Regular cannister changing? Improper dressing change? Difficulty obtaining/with practitioner orders? Issues with home care or insurance for proper equipment upon discharge?

Do you know the length of time it took to get your license?

This is all we can afford now that reimbursement is based on patient satisfaction.

Has anyone done this program? What are your thoughts? Thanks.

How did you do on the exit HESI, jt?

Good for you! I taught the OB portion of an LPN program and have a great respect for the career! The Path to LPN

I would go directly for RN, but if you do go the LPN route, familiarize yourself with the process. You can always go back for your RN. Just make sure the school is reputable! How to Become a LPN

How is it going? Do you need any more clarification?

Did you figure this out? Happy to help you clarify.

I would recommend reviewing how to write a SOAP note. This is a quick article on the down and dirty basics of SOAP note charting.

So how far is everyone in their programs? :)
