Quotes
from CWCA’s
“As a registered nurse in long term
care, I must be able to work autonomously.
Physicians need to trust my wound assessment
as well as my treatment choices. With the
credentials CWCA® and knowing what it
entails to attain those initials next to
my name, my judgment is well respected.”
Jennifer Oakley RN WCC CWCA
Stamford, NY
“I know that education and credentials
are the hallmark of clinical credibility.
My job title as Nurse Manager of an Outpatient/Inpatient
Wound Healing and Hyperbaric program holds
an unspoken and spoken expectation of clinical
knowledge in my specialty. While I continue
my formal education, I knew that obtaining
the CWCA® designation would give me
the confidence to lead my team of wound
care specialists. In addition, my commitment
to pursuing this certification gave my team
and colleagues a sense of my professional
loyalty to continuing education and respect
for literature.”
Denise Brenner, RN, CWCA
Morristown, NJ
“In my profession I go in to many
LTC facilities and am responsible for wound
evaluations and protocol suggestions for
individual optimal care. I'm also responsible
for educational activities for staff from
CNA's to LPN's as well as RN's. I am currently
a licensed Practical Nurse and prior to
becoming certified in wound care I felt
that maybe there was some doubt about an
LPN educating an RN no matter how long my
involvement in wound care. Since becoming
certified it not only gives me a sense of
personal pride but I think THE TITLE, also
lends a little credence to my ability to
share knowledge to any educational background
regarding wound care. I sincerely thank
you all at AAWM for helping me further my
knowledge and credentials in a multifaceted
field like wound care.”
