Testimonials

I recently took the Advanced Wound Care Certification course and today I passed the CWCN exam given by WOCNCB.  Thanks for making it happen. (Dewese Milstead  RN, BSN- Petal, MS)
I enjoyed the structured on-line education at my own pace at home as opposed to a one or two week course in a strange city stuck in a chair in a classroom and living out of a hotel. I got my money's worth. It worked for me.  I continue to refer to the textbooks that were provided with the course.  (Philip B. DO - Honolulu, HI)
I loved the online course, and feel it was worth every dime spent.  Add to that the fact that I had great support from the people behind the on-line class, and how attentive to questions and needs you all were, and still are, I feel.  You may quote me on that....I would encourage anyone to start learning wound care on your site:  well put together,...
Got the official word that I passed the American Academy of Wound Management's Wound Specialist Boards.  Yeah!!!  I am so happy I cried when I got the congrats letter!!!  (Heidi M. RN, BSN - Gordon, NE)
I have sat for the CWS boards; awaiting to hear back on the outcome.  Truly enjoyed the online wound class; I would grade it an "A", and the folks behind the class an "A+".  Super!  Thanks you...I highly recomend the class, and the reference books associated with the class. (Heidi M. RN, BSN - Gordon, NE)
My experience with this course has proven to be a valuable asset in daily wound rounds with my co-workers. I have recommended the course to others who have an interest in wound care. (Sandra C. LPN - Nazareth, PA)

I was fearful of doing an on line course but this was excellent! I got more out of this course than all of the wound care conventions I have attended. (Maura T. LPN - Mansfield, MA)
I am very happy I took the WoundEducators course. It's great to have the option of learning via the Internet vs attending these courses in some distant city or during work- time when there really is not much time to attend. (Hans V. RN - Kelowna, BC)
Very impressive and relevant and easy to understand. (Evangeline D. RN - Colorado Springs, CO)
