Hi Em, I thought the education was very well done. I did take all three classes. Actually, there are four. One is a foundational class. I could not say if Emery is better, not having gone there. I felt, when I did my preceptorships, that I confidently knew what I should know, and I have been working in the specialties now for 7 years, so I can say that, for me, the online classes did the job. Oh, I also had no trouble passing the 3 certification exams. Hope this helps! Sue

If you plan to take the wound portion of WOCNCB exam (that is what the CWOCNs take), you first have to take an approved course of study. I took the courses at webWOCnurse.com - Home Page It is all online except for the preceptorships. If you go to the WOCNCB website, there is a list of all the approved courses. I think there are others now that are online. I am not sure you will find an approved course for any of the certifications that isn't spendy. Sue

Oh, oh. Looks like I broke a rule. Sorry, Sue

I went to a five day class in St. John, New Brunswick. It was very good, and provided anything you could need for certification. They did teach using ingrow scissors instead of the clippers we are familiar with, but that was okay. I have switched to clippers. You can check it out at http://www.seniorwatch.com I went all the way there from Washington State. It was a great trip. St. John is on the Bay of Fundy, where they have the biggest tides in the world. Oh, and I got to learn foot care too! Sue

Bill, The University of Washington has a master of science in nursing that it offers, and you do not have to be an RN to take it. It is for doing research. Sue
