Thanks so much! you are very helpful! happy New Year!

Hi! everyone. I know when to measure a wound, from head to toe direction is the length, and from side to side is the width. but sometimes i am confused if a wound is irregular shaped. let's say this wound on the front leg is triangular -shaped, we call it ABC ( to make it easiler to describe) A is the top point, point B and C are on both sides. line AB is longer than line AC. so how do you measure its length? the length will be from point A to where? how to measure the width? another question: sometimes a wound's length can be shorter than its width, right? thanks so much for help!:balloons:

thanks so much for your suggestion, I am really, very appreciated it!merry christmas!

hi,thank you for your help! this question i actually asked quite some coworkers, but no one knows exactly. thanks, i am clear now. i am a new nurse with 2 year exp. in ltc. associate degree, i almost finished prerequiate of my bsn progm, and will go to the major class soon. i plan to take the wound care certificatein feb. or mar.hopefully i can pass it. i heard it is very intensive, and will finish everything in four days, and the fifth day is the test. maybe it's helpful read some books ahead? i know there are lots of organizations to choose to do the seminar, which is better in terms of learn more things and professional? any suggestions would be very appreciate. it is really a wonderful website, we can share thoughts and get help, encouragement, i will be here often.

I work in a Long Term Care facility and do a lot of wound care. I become more interested in it. I want to get a wound care certificate. a coworker told me that once you got the certificate, you'll be a wound care consultant. Is it true? if not, how to become a wound care consultant? are there some special programe for it? thanks so much!
