Wound Care NP Education, Certifications, and Skills

To become a wound care nurse practitioner, you first need to establish your credentials as a nurse practitioner, which is a type of advanced practice registered nurse. This means obtaining degrees beyond a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN), such as a master of science in nursing (MSN) or a doctor of nursing practice (DNP).

It also requires at least two years of practice as a registered nurse, and proper licensing in your state of practice. Each state has different levels of practice authorities for NPs, so it’s important to know which applies to you.

As an advanced practice registered nurse, a wound care NP must obtain additional wound care certifications from organizations like the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Care Nursing Certification Board (WOCNCB). These advanced practice certifications can include:

  • Certified Wound Care Nurse (CWCN-AP)
  • Certified Ostomy Care Nurse (COCN-AP)
  • Certified Continence Care Nurse (CCCN-AP)

Resume and Cover Letter for Wound Care NP Jobs

When applying for NP wound care jobs, the best way to stand out is to make sure that your application is tailored to an employer’s job posting. Your nurse practitioner resume should align with the needs of the hiring organization. So, if the job posting says that they are seeking a candidate who can “assess, plan, implement, and evaluate skin care related to wounds based upon current concepts and findings,” then include that phrase in your resume.

You can use your NP cover letter to discuss your values, work ethic, and skillset. Use this opportunity to add more depth in aligning your experience with the needs of the employer. For the example above, you could use your cover letter to discuss how you keep current on evidence-based best practices for wound care, perhaps highlighting a few examples of how doing so has helped shape the way you care for your patients.

Interviewing for Wound Care NP Jobs

As a nurse practitioner you can be confident in the considerable amount of experience and education you’ve already accumulated. But this doesn’t always guarantee a smooth interview process with interviewers who are trying to get to know you in a compressed amount of time.

The key to any interview is preparation. Before you head into your next one, take a look at some of these wound care nurse interview questions for a better idea of what to expect — and how to respond.
