UW Medical Center - Montlake has an outstanding opportunity for a Wound/Ostomy Nurse. The UWMC Wound/Ostomy Program RNs provide care for ostomy patients both inpatient and outpatient, and hospitalized patients presenting with a broad spectrum of wounds including surgical, neuropathic, venous, arterial, pressure injuries, and other wounds reflecting a variety of underlying disease processes. Wound/Ostomy RNs provide pre-operative assessment and education of ostomy patients in the outpatient setting as well as postoperative ostomy management in the inpatient and outpatient setting, enhancing the patient and nurse experience across the care continuum.
