Wound care clinical

I'm doing my last clinical rotation at a wound care center. I was nervous at first because I don't have any experience with wounds, but I'm learning a lot each day and my clinical instructor is fantastic! I've learned how to pulse lavage, debride, and apply compression wraps and dressings. Today my instructor went over different types of dressings with me and I got to see her debride a wound with low-frequency ultrasound. My favorite part of wound care is removing all the yellow slough and necrotic tissue to reveal beefy red granulation tissue underneath - I know it sounds gross, but it's SO COOL.

Plus I get to wear booties and a mask at work. I feel like a professional.
