Thank you for a great training video. I’m an RN, helping with wound care for a family member and I wanted to brush up on these skills. You’re so thorough & helpful. Thank you!
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Thank you Kathy. I followed you throughout nursing school.
I passed NCLEX on 12/11/19
As of today 12/26/19 I am officially a Nurse 👩🏻⚕️🙌🙏
CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so happy for you! And I am so happy that I could be part of your journey to becoming a nurse. Please don't be a stranger... would love to hear about your experience as a new grad. ❤️
Kayzee congrats
Congratssssssssssss !

Congratulations 🎊🍾 am currently in school nursing
Lucky can’t wait to be one as well
It would be so wonderful if you continued this series on wound care. Please consider it! 🙂
Yes 🙌🏽 please and thank you!
You are a trooper Cathy!
Don't let no body stops your passion for helping.🙏🙏🙏
I’m proud of you, you are a great inspiration for not giving up and moving forward. Thank you for your commitment to us and the field of nursing.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support.
So happy to see you back on here! Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting nursing students!!!
Thank you for giving a such clear introduction on the importance of the first skin check assessment!!
Many nurses are not taking it seriously enough. I still remember on my last placement, a nurse did a very poor skin assessment and documentation for a patient who admitted to the ward with UTI. The patient was significantly underweight, bed-bound and confused.
I did not believe in what the chart said and I did a skin assessment with another student, yeah bingo, we found second degree pressure injuries on both pt foot. Unfortunately we found it after the first 24 hours, the team leader said our ward officially caused the pressure injuries.
I’m a new home health nurse and this is golden to know thank you.
You're welcome😊
You are such an amazing teacher . I am glad I found u . Will be starting my nursing in fall
So exciting!!! Keep us posted on your journey. 😊
Hi Cathy, I’m currently studying for my boards and your videos are sooooo helpful, i can stress how much the information you say is so accurate to what is in my Nclex review book 😀😀😀.. By any chance, do have any videos regarding the topic of burns and how to care for them? That would be a big help!! You best!!!
Thanks for this series! I graduate in May, and will be pursuing my WOCN after my residency. I am so excited!

You are such a blessing to all of us .Thank you so much for everything you do .Lords willing will be a Wound Nurse one day !!! Will you make wound cards ?
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for your incredibly kind comment. Wound nursing is a GREAT job, so I would definitely encourage you to pursue a career as a wound nurse if that interests you. I LOVE the idea of creating wound care cards... I will put it on my to-do list. 👍 Thanks for your support!
@@LevelUpRN Yes I love the cards helps break everything down .Dosage calculation cards would be great as well.Thanks for all you do .Will purchase the ekg soon.
Excellent!
Please add more wound care videos! I was hoping to find help learning how to stage pressure injuries and with describing wounds and with dressings! I see this video was made in 2019, so maybe the series was put to the side.
We are actively working to create more videos and other resources! Be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can be notified as they are released. www.leveluprn.com
I am so excited to be a nurse
Fantastic! 😍🎉
Great information !!
Thanks for watching!
Following from Kenya, proud to listen from you
Hello Frank. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@LevelUpRN your welcome
Thank You
Very welcome!
Thank you Cathy for all your videos! I got my LPN in May of this year and you were a big part of it. Cathy, when you started wound care, did you have any issue at first with feeling nauseous when you saw wounds? I had an orientation night with a wound nurse and I felt really nauseous. The funny thing is thou that I’m really interested in wound care but I had to step out for a few at one point. Do you have any suggestions ?
You are so welcome! So happy I could be part of your journey to becoming an LPN. I have not had any issues with nausea with wound care, but I have definitely known some nursing students (and nurses) who struggled initially, but then overcame that feeling over a short time. It is your body's visceral reaction to seeing the wound, and it is very common. If you spend some more time doing wound care, your mind/body will get used to it, and you probably won't have that issue after a little while. If you are interested in wound care, I would definitely try to get more exposure to wounds and look into classes/education on wound care. 👍
I love your bully! ❤
Take some zofran before doing wound tx 🤣
Very helpful ❤
I'm so glad!
❤️
Hey there! I was wondering where to find all of your flashcards and not just the 4 that are currently available? Thank you for your time!
Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, these cards are no longer available for sale. We truly apologize for the inconvenience but be sure to sign up for our email newsletter at LevelUpRN.com: leveluprn.com/ to find out about more resources to be released in the future! Best of luck with your studies!
wish your videos were a little longer but thank you !
Can you recommend a resource to classify wounds?
How to bay your flash card ? Thank you so much.
Please make wound care flashcards!
Yes!! I would love a set of those.
Great idea, and now that MULTIPLE people have suggested it, I have definitely added it to my to-do list. Thank you!
Are u going to continue the series?
Thank yoUUUUUUU
You are so welcome!
As a wound care nurse my biggest issue is the admitting nurse missing a pre existing wound upon admission and the center having to take blame and it becoming a HAI.
Does this series have more than two videos?
Yesss kathy
love this thank you
♥️♥️♥️👏🏻
😊
this video works better at 1.5 speed
I have my interview in 2 days in wound care dept. Have no clue at all.
I have to get to Atlanta Georgia
Did you ever make more videos on wounds?
We are actively working to publish more videos and create more study resources to help all nursing students master the material they need to succeed. Be sure to subscribe to our email updates on LevelUpRN.com and follow us on social media (IG, FB, Twitter) to be the first to know when new resources are available!
What if the patient is being transferred from another floor and the wound is packed and or covered? do you uncover and look at it or what?
If the previous nurse from the other unit already did the wound care as ordered before the patient arrived, you typically don’t have to take the dressing down and redo it. You can document that the wound is covered and the dressing is clean, dry, and intact. However definitely check with your facility’s policy!
As a wound care nurse is there any lifting the patient? Ty
Yes, patients often have wounds on their posterior side, so turning and lifting is part of the job. Getting help and using assistive devices is important!
I am an LVN wondering if I can be a wound care nurse in LTC because I thought I have to be a RN to do wound care
You can get your WCC and do wound care at many SNFs and LTACs.
Thank you ! Do I have to be certified through WCC ? Or can I work in the setting without certification TIA
No nurse or cna will do a full skin assessment on either of us.
What the price to charge for 8 wound care home visit
Do I take a picture of the wound with my phone !!?? 😳
No, you would use a secure facility device/camera to take the picture.
If you have sutures from the hospital you need to get them taken out by a licenced professional not a friend who happens to be medical.
Spread those cheeks!
Earth number and this is six Wellington but she meant I won't be home and I always have fun sorry for hello Starbucks

According to the bibles genealogy the world is only 6000 years old which disputes fossil records and all science which prove the earth is 5.4 billion years old
Jesus said nearly 2000 years ago:Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
And he said speaking of end times when the antichrist would come: Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
And speaking of slavery which the bible permits: When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.
Also the tribe of benjamin was permitted to capture "a damsel or two for himself" and force them into marriage to unwillingly bear children by rape.
Deuteronomy 13:12 you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you,you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock.(including people who had nothing to do with it).
Is there anything this nurse can't do!
🫂
So funny, it’s all about the money, not about finding the wound to treat it but to save hospital’s a$$, otherwise they won’t get paid. :((
Too basic !!!!
