I have been a med-surg nurse for 3+ years. I am interested in becoming a wound care nurse. Wounds are the only aspect of med-surg that I am interested in. I live in New Jersey and I was checking the WOCN website for classes. The closest school to me is in PA and I have a 2 month old baby, so going to school out of state in not an option. An online course is offered. Has anyone been certified via online classes and if so, do you recommend it? Thank you

I have been a med-surg nurse for almost 4 years. Recently (like 3wks ago) I changed jobs so i could be closer to home. I was very unhappy at my last job and I felt it was time for a change. I went to work for a hospital in my state where it was rumored that "nurses were so happy, they die there". Now that I am actually on my unit in my new position, I realize its the same thing. management always doing what they need to do to cut costs, understaffed, overworked, poor triage which leads to incorrect placement of patients and early discharge of patients just so the hospital and the doctors could get reimbursed. I'm so frustrated and unhappy, I actually want to go back to my old job. I think I need to do something different. I'll be going on maternity leave in a few months and i was thinking about getting wound care and ostomy certified. Is anyone in this specialty area and if so, do you recommend it? Any input would be helpful.
