Make sure you are familiar with where the hospital is BEFORE the day you have to be there. If you don’t know the area, take a dry run the night before. Time yourself so you know how much time you should give yourself to get there in the morning. Don’t forget to compensate for traffic! If you flew in from out of state ask the “locals” how the traffic is so you can gauge it. And, not to point out the obvious, it’s better to be early than late. So give yourself tons of time to get there so you can use your commute to the hospital to really get your head in the right place. If you have to rush to the hospital you’re only going to feel frazzled by the time you get there and that’s the last thing you need. |

Hey guys and gals. As you all know, buying the wound kits from Excelsior can be expensive. Especially being that you just paid almost $2,000 to take the darn thing. Here’s how you can make your own wound to practice on at home. This way you can save a couple bucks. (Every little bit helps.) - Go to walmart, or a floral shop if you are near one, and get a block of that green floral foam. (You know, the stuff they stick the flowers in to keep the flowers in place.)
- Place a template in the shape of the wound on the foam and trace it with a Sharpie.
- Using a box cutter knife, cut out the shape of the wound.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the foam about 1.25 inches deep. (Keep in mind you are trying to simulate the one Excelsior uses so use it as a guide.)
- Use some putty or play dough and spread it inside the wound. Don’t make it too thick, or if you do, make sure you dig deep enough to compensate for it.)
Ta-da! You now have a wound you can practice on AND a couple extra bucks in your pocket. |
