  • Making a difference!

    Love the story of growing a foot care service on this podcast. So sad the organization doesn’t prioritize billing for the services. I’ve seen nurse- provided foot care make a difference for a family member in assisted living!! It’s a great opportunity for nurses to obtain this certification and take the skills in the direction they want their career to grow!!

(BONUS) Ostomy Observations Series S4E6: What Happens Next?: The Ostomy Nurse’s Responsibility in Discussing Supplies Post-Discharge
Q: What should ostomy nurses advise patients when discharging them?
Patients should at least know what type of ostomy they have and what supplies they are being sent home with, including their product names and numbers.
(BONUS) Ostomy Observations Series S4E6: What Happens Next?: The Ostomy Nurse’s Responsibility in Discussing Supplies Post-Discharge
Q: In your opinion, when should Ostomy nurses begin the discussion about supplies?

Reimbursement structures and awareness about their skill set in wound care.
