Nurse Practitioner - Wound Care

Clinical Focus: Advanced Wound Care, Limb Preservation, and Vascular Disease

Employment Type: Full-Time / Part-Time

Location: Davis,CA

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Nurse Practitioner with a strong background in wound care and a solid understanding of vascular disease and lower-extremity circulation. This position will focus on the evaluation and management of patients with chronic, complex, and non-healing wounds, including wounds associated with diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, chronic venous insufficiency, pressure injury, edema, and other medical conditions that interfere with healing. Because vascular disease is a significant contributor to many chronic lower-extremity wounds, the ideal candidate must be comfortable identifying signs of arterial insufficiency, venous disease, impaired perfusion, ischemia, and other vascular barriers to wound healing.

Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive wound-care evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans.
• Assess, measure, classify, photograph, and document wounds and healing progression.
• Evaluate causes of delayed healing, including arterial insufficiency, venous disease, diabetes, infection, pressure, edema, nutrition, and other comorbidities.
• Perform wound debridement and other wound-care procedures within the Nurse Practitioner's training, competency, scope of practice, and applicable regulations.
• Select appropriate wound-care therapies based on clinical presentation and treatment goals.
• Identify signs of arterial insufficiency, venous hypertension, ischemia, infection, and other complications.
• Evaluate lower-extremity vascular status and recognize when additional vascular testing or consultation is appropriate.
• Coordinate vascular studies and specialist referrals when clinically indicated.
• Collaborate with vascular specialists, podiatrists, primary care providers, home health agencies, and other members of the multidisciplinary care team.
• Participate in limb-preservation strategies designed to reduce complications and prevent avoidable amputations.
• Provide patient and caregiver education regarding wound care, pressure reduction, edema management, vascular risk factors, and prevention of recurrence.
• Monitor treatment outcomes and modify care plans based on patient response.
• Maintain thorough, accurate, and timely clinical documentation.

Qualifications

• Active Nurse Practitioner license in the applicable state.
• Graduate degree from an accredited Nurse Practitioner program.
• Current national Nurse Practitioner certification.
• Current BLS certification.
• Previous wound-care experience strongly preferred.
• Vascular, podiatric, surgical, or lower-extremity clinical experience highly desirable.
• Wound-care certification preferred but not required.
• Strong clinical assessment and documentation skills.
• Ability to independently manage a patient panel while collaborating with physicians and other providers.

Preferred Experience

• Advanced wound care
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Arterial or ischemic wounds
• Pressure injuries
• Surgical or traumatic wounds
• Peripheral arterial disease
• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Lower-extremity edema
• Limb preservation
• Vascular medicine or vascular surgery

Ideal Candidate

We are seeking a Nurse Practitioner who understands that successful wound care requires treating more than the wound itself. The ideal provider evaluates the entire clinical picture, including perfusion, venous disease, edema, diabetes, pressure, infection, and other barriers to healing, and recognizes when a patient requires additional vascular evaluation or intervention. This position is well suited for a provider interested in advanced wound management, vascular disease, and limb preservation.
