About The Job
Verrazano Nursing & Post-Acute Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation is looking for a Wound Nurse to join the team at our Skilled Nursing Facility in Staten Island, NY!
Wound care nurses specialize in assessing and treating patients with complex wounds, ostomies, or continence conditions. They work closely with members of patient care teams to ensure that personalized treatment plans are followed correctly in order to prevent future infection or injury. Common types of complex patient wounds include ulcers, burns, pressure injuries, diabetic foot wounds and skin tears.
Typical duties of a wound care nurse include:
Assessing and monitoring wounds
Cleaning and bandaging wounds
Working collaboratively with other members of the patient care team to determine if additional treatments or changes in care are required
Educating patients and caretakers on wound care, infection and injury prevention, and pressure ulcer (bed sore) care
Writing orders to expedite wound healing and avoid skin breakdown
In addition to these duties, wound care nurses often serve as advocates, wellness educators, and cheerleaders for their patients, especially for those who frequently require relatively painful procedures or surgeries. This specialty requires a combination of patience, empathy and ambition in order to stay up-to-date on best practices and to help patients overcome physical and mental hurdles.
Wound Nurse Requirements

Associates Degree or higher
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
COVID-19 Vaccination

Previous experience in long-term care
