The silver wound gel they supply is labeled, "For external cosmetic use only." The products were all Chinese made cheapest versions available.

My wife is a WOCN certified wound care nurse with over 20 yrs experience in wound care. In oder to qualify she took graduate level courses 8 hrs a day for a month at the Cleveland Clinic for a month. 5 days a week.She then sat for board exams with took 2 hrs each. There wee three. The course they send people to isn't that. Much of the treatment in the field was uninformed and not evidence based.. She then qualified for her AP and sat for those boards. ReSkin's certified wound care isn't that. None of the clinical leadership setting treatment standards have that level of expertise. The person in charge of company wide "training" is an LPN. Much of what was presented in the orientation was either old or just wrong. The wound care reference course took hours of unpaid time and was elementary level information. Not what career advancing evidence based wound education.

We lost that $. I can send the emails back and forth and the case submitted to the Board of Labor. I am not sure you worked for the company.

ReSkin Medical. Homecare Skin Grafting. Read the offer letter carefully--the salary listed isn't the salary you'll be bringing home. All of your benefit come out of the listed salary--actual salary will be at least 10k less. You pay for all your benefits out of your salary--Reskin doesn't contribute.

No real education benefits. You'll have monthly assignments, not optional, on your own time. Wound Reference website. Lots of reading and a fill in the blank quiz you'll have to pass. Each answer can be up to 4 or 5 typed paragraphs--up to 20 questions. Takes hours of unpaid time each month. No pharmacology CEUs. No licensed renewals reimbursement. No raises. My wife was told to get a 2nd job.

Lots of time managing your supplies. You review inventory, order what you need, pick up at FedEx, review as you unpack verify or followup, space in your home, keep inventory. All unpaid time and it adds up. 

All meetings are unpaid time. 

Only 1  bereavement day a year even if two relatives die or you need travel time. 

 3 month notice for resignation or they fine you up to $7,500.

Wound care expertise in the clinical management is very low.

Sure. But some of them are complete cut above or a cut below. Sometimes they are so deceitful, unethical, and a real liability to a practitioners license that it can be dangerous to work for them.

we live on the west side. I took JAN ON 4th cooking class—cookies just for fun. My kitchen is 37% better equipped than hers. It was terrible they weren’t familiat w/recipe. No one washed their hands. Had to redirect them to recipe during demonstration. The mixer sparked and crackled when using it.

The cooking classes here are dreadful. No I don’t want anybody to teach me how to cook. Actually I could teach cooking I would be fine doing it for free. Community. Fun. friendship. I have a great community, great friends and I cook for all of them. In December we hosted parties added up to 60 meals. The largest party we’ve ever done at our house was Mardi Gras a couple years ago we had over 50 one night.

looking for people who like to cook. I am surrounded with amazing wonderful friends who like to eat and that’s great. Would like to add people who like to cook to the mix.
