1. Wound care certification exam

   homehealthWCN replied to homehealthWCN's topic in Wound

   Hi! I definitely think that Emory prepared me to take the certification exam. I also purchased the flash cards from the WOCN society website & they helped a lot too. I only completed the wound care & professional practice modules. They allow ...

   I agree. I've already suggested to my director that I would like to only work weekends once I begin clinicals but that position will have to be approved first. If not, I am willing to go back to working 3 12 hour shifts. Thank you for all of your inp...

   Has anyone taken the wound care certification exam recently? I just finished the wound care program through Emory University & I'm taking the exam next week. I've heard that the exam is pretty hard 😬. Any feedback is appreciated!

   I live about an hour from Columbia so going to the campus won't be an issue. I see patients 4 days a week & have 1 day per week that I don't have to see patients. It's a day to catch up on my charting but if I really disciplined myself, I could g...

   Thank you for your feedback! How many hours per week would you say you put into school work? What are the assignments? Papers? Quizzes? Discussion boards? Any details are appreciated! I'm in home health which requires a good bit of paperwork but I do...

   Hey! Is anyone enrolled in or completed the online adult gerontology NP program via the University of South Carolina? I'm wondering if I'll be able to continue to work full time & complete the program? How many clinical hours are required each we...

   You complete the wound, ostomy, & continence modules online first then go to Emory for a week. After you return from Emory you take a final cumulative exam online then begin the professional practice module & your clinical hours.

    My start date was October 15. They start new cohorts on the 1st & 15th of every month. It's very self paced. They give you 3 months to complete each module. I could have finished sooner but we've been shorted handed at work so that has taken up a...

13. WHY... DME air matress not approved for stage 4 coccyx wound?.

    homehealthWCN replied to CenterIce's topic in Home Health

    From my 7+ years of home health nursing, DME companies are responsible for knowing what the Medicare guidelines are for coverage of DME. It is not the home health nurses responsibility. A good DME company that wants business will request required inf...
