June 28, 2017- Skilled Wound Care
Sold out!
That’s the best way to describe our most recent Skin, Wound, & Ostomy Course, held May 31-June 2, 2017, at California State University East Bay Oakland Center. We welcomed 101 attendees - a full house!
Over the course of three days, students learned about all skin, wound, and ostomy issues in a variety of care settings. What’s more, they were brought up to speed on current regulations and standard practice in post-acute settings.
Our SWOC course focuses on a diverse approach to care: students learned the biology behind wound care, how to assess and prevent wounds, how to identify risks in patient care. They also learned which management and treatment choices were best suited to various conditions, and covered all the relevant documentation so that they could comply with the best practices of health care at the state and federal level.
What students are saying
How did our Skin, Wound, and Ostomy Course students fare? We’ll let them tell you!
“Thanks for EVERYTHING! I literally didn’t know anything before I came here. I graduated outside this country and challenged with my LVN. I passed and this is my first job as a nurse (MDS Coordinator). Treating wounds/skin conditions is not my responsibility and it was hard for me to evaluate/assess my residents. But since Day 1 of our class I learned a lot. I understand the important details of taking care of our resident’s skin, and other factors. I may not pass the exam but I am very glad and thankful I was able to experience this wonderful class. You guys are amazing! You made “preschooler” understand lesson of a “7th grader,” haha! Thank you again!” -Lhaarnie
