Wound Care Interview! I have a few questions.

Published

Hi everyone. I am excited to state that I have an upcoming interview with a wound care company. I really hope that it pans out because this type of job sounds like a great fit for me! I will be shadowing with one of the NPs during LTC rounds to get a feel for the work. If selected, they will offer training, which is so great for a new grad.

I have a week to prepare. Any suggested websites or reading? I have been thumbing through my old textbooks, which has been quite informative.

Any ideas of what to expect for pay? I am in the Southern NJ/Philadelphia area.

Thanks in advance, my friends!

That is interesting. I assume you are not WOC-certified. Your post is a week old, I would love to know how things went. If you still have time, I would recommend looking at the WOCN website (wocn.org) to get an idea of what wound nurses do. Nursing homes are very big on pressure ulcer prevention and you should know a few things about prevention programs, policies, etc.

Thanks, TammyG. Things went well. I have another interview this week. The company offers a lot of training, so I feel like I will be well prepared if selected.

How did your interview go? I have been looking into wound care as well but do not know where to start. I know a friend of a friend who is a NP in wound care and makes a killing! Any idea the pay?

Actually, I just shadowed last week. The real interview is this week. I really enjoyed the experience and the people I may be working with. Very supportive. Not sure about the pay yet, but it's hourly. I'll keep you posted.
