Wound Care Coordinator, Case Manager Resume Example CHI Saint Joseph London

WOUND CARE COORDINATOR, CASE MANAGER

Summary

As a wound care certified licensed professional I am responsible for planning and providing care for patients with complicated wounds, pressure ulcers, and/or any patient who has a potential skin care problem, in order to assist the patient in achieving a maximum level of wellness and independence. I consult with other members of the health care team in the management of acute and chronic wounds, and am actively involved in the management and prevention of pressure ulcers.

Registered Nurse with more than 9 years' experience in bedside nursing and providing nursing care to diverse populations. Although I have primarily worked in the Intensive Care Unit, I have had the experience of floating to other departments throughout the hospital. Some departments I have worked in when needed include the Emergency Department, Postpartum area of OB, Cardiac Care Unit, Medical/Surgical Floor, as well as assisting in our Cardiac Cath Lab and responding to in house Code situations. While working in each area can be challenging and complex, the knowledge and experience I gained from each has helped me provide better care to my patients.
