Position Purpose:

At Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, an Inpatient Wound Care Registered Nurse plays a crucial role in assessing, treating, and managing patients with complex wounds.

The RN collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to promote optimal healing and prevent complications, while advancing expertise in wound care through professional development and certification.

What You Will Do:

  • Assess and evaluate patient wounds to develop and implement individualized care plans.

  • Perform wound care procedures, including cleaning, dressing, and debridement.

  • Monitor and document patient progress, adjusting treatment plans as necessary.

  • Provide expert wound care as a WOCN-certified RN or as an RN actively enrolled in WOCN coursework, ensuring adherence to best practices and standards of care.

Required:

  • Graduation from an accredited nursing program; BSN strongly preferred and required for WOCN certification.

  • Valid RN license in the state of Connecticut.

  • Minimum of 2 years of Med/Surg experience in an acute care setting. Strong preference towards current or prior wound care experience in an inpatient setting.
