Carrie is currently working as a care manager II wound care nurse for myNEXUS. At myNEXUS, she helps home health agencies with their authorizations for wound and ostomy skilled nursing visits, ensuring that patients are receiving proper and appropriate wound and ostomy care. Prior to working at myNEXUS, she had been an RN in the home care field for 13 years and had specialized in wound, ostomy, and continence nursing for 8 years. Besides being a resource for her fellow coworkers and caring for hundreds of patients per year, she was responsible for training all incoming RNs and LPNs in wound, ostomy, and continence care. She regularly kept her staff up to date on the most recent products and best practices in her field.

Being empathetic with coworkers regarding their fears and lack of confidence in wound and ostomy skills and knowledge is something she has a real aptitude for.
