It takes about a month to learn the basics, 3 months to start to feel comfortable, 1 year to know wound care.
This is a day job, Monday through Friday. No nights or weekends. But we do expect you to be available by cell phone 24/7.
We group the facilities by location and assign them to a physician/ARNP. The physician/ARNP visits these facilities weekly and manages the care of the patient's wounds.
