WOC nursing: tell me all you can!

Published

Im taking a chance and attending a WOC program later this year. Ive been a critical care nurse for 3 1/2 years in burn and medical ICUs and need a change from the direct bedside! I need to know any info you guys have about what areas use WOC certified nurses. I know my hospital has a few that educate patients before and after ostomy surgeries and checks on those patients in the hospital with pressure ulcers and nonhealing wounds. Ive also seen jobs for selling wound healing supplies.

Do home health agencies use WOC nurses? Do you know how many your hospital has? Do they use WOC nurses in HBO? Do you know any other area that uses WOC nurses? Do you know how much they make? I live in TN but am willing to locate to most parts of the country..

Any info is appreciated :heartbeat thanks!
