"This was an amazing opportunity not only for myself, but my core nursing staff at Texan Nursing and Rehab. We were able to complete the program at our own pace, and this benefited our hectic schedules. Thank you for an amazing opportunity from our team," said Bianca Gonzalez, BSN, RN, IP Director of Nursing from Texan Nursing and Rehab in TX.
All medical professionals practicing nursing and/or attending nursing school are eligible to apply for the scholarship; however, those with the following degrees may benefit most: Registered Nurse (RN), Nurse Practitioner (NP), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Physician Assistant (PA), or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).
"Nurses with a Wound Care Certification can assist physicians and treat wounds directly, improving patient outcomes significantly. Not only do trained wound care nurses help improve patient quality of life, they help nursing facilities and home health agencies minimize the risk of citations and infractions for pressure ulcers," said John Sory, President of Vohra Wound Physicians. "For these reasons and countless others, nurses certified in wound care are a valuable asset to any patient care team."
From nursing students at the beginning of their careers to seasoned practitioners with clinical experience, a Wound Care Certification is an essential next step in professional development, arming practitioners with the skills and expertise needed to advance in the medical field.
