Wound Care Nurse Practitioner Opportunity in S. Calif

Posted: Friday, November 20, 2009

Hospital in search of a Wound Care Nurse Practitioner.
The hospital is a stand alone independent non-profit hospital that has an excellent reputation. They have been chosen a Top 100 Hospital four times, the last was 2004, they have been recognized by our community as the best hospital in the South Bay this year and for the last 9 out of 10 years previously. They are stable, thought of highly by their community, and are financially stable as well. They applied for magnet hospital in 8/2009. They have a very warm and welcoming environment for both our staff and visitor.

They have had a wound care program for a long time, but did not use a NP in the position; they do require a certification in wound care. That person was their wound care specialist, she retired earlier this year, which gave them an opportunity to re-evaluate the program and look at outcomes. They decided to go to the Wound Care Nurse Practitioner model to be able to implement treatment more efficiently and effectively and achieve better outcomes. So this program model has changed just in the past few months. They started with one NP who is the program manager. They also have an LVN. This is a full time position.

• There is in-patient as well as out patient.

• This Wound NP would collaborate closely with the others involved in our overall program.

• 8 bed Burn/ICU that is a department of it's own but part of the program.

• And certainly there is involvement with all nursing and ancillary staff to educate, assess and improve the outcomes so we can achieve and maintain their goals in wound healing and preservation of skin integrity. The position is open because this is a new role and we want to have the right person in the position.

Salary and Benefits are highly competitive.

Degrees Preferred: RN, BSN/MSN NP with demonstrated expertise in wound care.

Interested individuals contact me directly at the number below to be considered.
