Hi, I'm a nursing student and have been given the opportunity to shadow an ostomy/wound care nurse for a day. (yay!) I'm reading your permanent links below but I was wondering if there are any other good resources for an overview that you could reccomend. I'm currently a CNA in a hospital float pool and have also worked in LTC, so have learned some about pressure ulcers and stomas but would love to learn more from a 'nursing assessment and intervention' perspective before shadowing next week so that I can notice more things and ask better questions. My first degree (former life) is in biochem so feel to reccomend technical resources! Thank you and I look forward to learning more about this specialty.
