I am using this to try to get my WOCN certification, but even if I don't succeed I feel I have gotten a lot of good information from this book. I think this is a good reference for any nurse with an interest in wound care.

By Christine Faulkner

This is both a terrific introduction and a serious deepening of wound care for the healthcare professional. Physicians: never mind that it is not authored by fellow physicians. It is obviously authored by real-world clinical experts with a passion for mixing the right amount of scientific underpinning with generous portions of "here's how you do it" down-to-earth grittiness. I am a physician who is trained in both surgery and infectious disease, and I would trust myself in the authors' care anytime -- whether as student or as patient. No one writes this clearly or lays out a book this thoughtfully without having the rare "right stuff".
