I'm currently a CNA, but I'm starting nursing school come August. I work in a long-term facility, so I see a lot of pressure sores, and one of my favorite things to do is to help out the wound care nurse. Mostly, I just hold the patient in position, but it's fascinating to me to see the deeper structures under the skin. I'm also one of those people who loved peeling away the dead skin from a sunburn, so debridement is also very satisfying to me.

@@edlee2336 I'm a caregiver and I love wound care too! I deal mostly with pressure sores and it's so satisfying to remove the duoderm and see the skin healed underneath... I was amazed to find out that wounds heal with moisture versus with dry air. It's so interesting

i was put in a medical coma to get skin grafts on my legs-when i woke up 2 months later i had a huge bedsore on my coccyx from not moving me cause of the skingrafts on my legs. it took months to heal and before it got better it tunneled to my spine. i was on iv meds 3 times a day for 6 weeks. they put a vacc on it but it didnt help much so they decided to take it off. i started to heal up after. was a crazy few months. my woundcare team was so amazing. since i couldnt see it myself they always explained it, they would have to change the dressing everyday and measure and compare and pack it. the wound care team was amazing at freeport hospital. they helped me out of a really bad time

jo joyce Yes. I was with one last week. You would need two years of experience to get your certification regardless if your an LPN or RN. They can get paid starting at $27-$34 hourly as an LPN. This particular LPN work at a nursing home and is the only wound care nurse.

i have always felt like ive been called to be a nurse but tried to ignore it because i can be sensitive to open wounds(large wounds). would a career as an RN still be possible? i would love to focus in pediatrics or labor and delivery
@RegisteredNurseRN8 жыл бұрын
+Deanna Dustin Hi Deanna :) Yes, I definitely think you can still enter nursing. You will see some wounds but many are sutured or have wound vacs (if not they tend to be rather small to medium in size)....randomly you may see crazy large wounds but it really depends on where you work. Overall, you will become desensitized to it after awhile. I wouldn't let this hold you back. I wish you the best :)

I find so much interest in wound care nursing. I’ve been a CNA for almost 10 years and I lack confidence in myself that I’d be a good nurse, mostly out of fear & the stress I see some nurses go through. Is this a legitimate reason to not go to nursing school?
@navajo2378 ай бұрын
I am an EMT and felt the same way you did. I am in LPN school right now and have about 10 fellow classmates who are CNA's. I can honestly say they are some of the best students in our class. They volunteer first to show skills in the lab, and do well on test. You should absolutely consider going to nursing school. You can do it. Don't let fear or anxiety stop you.

From what I am learning LPNs assist with stable patients. I think it depends on where you live though. And how the wound identifies someone if they are stable or not
