This is an awesome course from which I have expanded my knowledge base extensively. My wound care abilities have increased considerably and patient outcomes have reflected that. Thank you so much for helping me to attain my next goal in nursing!

First let me say I was so impressed with the quality of the Advanced
Wound Care Course I completed. I was pleasantly surprised by the
presentation of information. Thank you so much for the opportunity to
take this online instead of having to find a class to go to somewhere.
I am a hospice nurse and many of my fellow nurses expressed interest in
this course. I will gladly recommend it to them.

Thank you,
Nancy

The course is turning out to be so useful and interesting. Every weekend, I am
spending hours reading and doing the lessons. The material is excellent, the on-line
course is also great. Just wanted you to know! Thanks, Deirdre

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! Thank you...I highly recomend the class, and the reference books associated with the class.

On 5/26/2011: Got the official word that I passed the American Academy of Wound Management\'s Wound Specialist Boards (CWS). Yeah!!! I am so happy I cried when I got the congrats letter!!! Now the work/fun begins!! Thanks for listening!!

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.

I wanted to let you know that I passed my CWS exam this October. Your program was a great help. I will recommend it to others. Best regards and happy new year to you! Cheryl B., MSN, RN, CWCN, CWS

I just want to share the good news, that I passed the National Board Examination for Wound Care Professionals. The course helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for your support and consideration, I can\'t thank you enough. the video helps me a lot to understand wounds. The examination was not easy at all but the study materials and the wound course help me to pass it.

Hi Laurie, I passed the certification exam so I have not "hit" on the course for awhile. I know I wound not have been successful on the exam had I not taken your course. I am now a member of AAWM. Human nature is a funny thing,--- not one staff nurse was interested in certification until I passed my exam! Now @ least 3 want to become certified (but frown on the cost of the necessary education) . I hope these nurses enroll in your course, it was a sound investment.


Nov 15, 2009 by Kim J., CWS, FACCWS

Laurie,

Thank you so much for your timely assistance. I will be forever in your debt.
Excellent job, and I will definitely encourage other nurses to do your wound care education. It was very informative.
