Do you have any kind of wound care certification currently?

Nothing past the local wound classes

I would start with pursuing a wound care certification, whether it a variation of WOCN (you don't have to do wound, ostomy and continence...you can choose 1, 2 or all 3) or WCC (Google WCEI). There's another certification, but I can't remember it right now. Do you actively perform wound care in your daily duties as a Registered Nurse?
