Field Nurse Practitioner for Wound Care | O'ahu
Wound Care Hawaiʻi is hiring a Nurse Practitioner to bring wound care directly to patients where they live — homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and other community settings across Oʻahu. If you'd rather be on the road building real relationships with patients than stuck in a single clinic all day, this role was built for that.
What the role looks like:
You'll drive your own schedule, see patients one-on-one, and handle wound care from assessment through treatment — all while backed by a physician-led team that's easy to reach when you need input.
A typical day includes:
- Assessing wounds and building a treatment plan tailored to each patient
- Hands-on care: debridement, dressing changes, infection management, offloading
- Teaching patients and caregivers how to support healing at home
- Logging visits and progress in the EMR, staying HIPAA-compliant
- Looping in physicians, agencies, and families as needed
- Driving between patient locations throughout your territory
What you'll need:
- Active Hawaiʻi NP license
- Current BLS/CPR card
- A Hawaiʻi driver's license, your own vehicle, and comfort with daily travel
- Confidence making clinical calls independently in the field
- Background in wound care, geriatrics, home health, hospice, or post-acute care is a plus, not a must
Pay & structure:
1099 independent contractor, full-time hours, visit-based pay. Strong earners can clear $100+/hour equivalent — we'll walk through specifics in the interview.
Why NPs stick around here:
- Real autonomy — your day, your route, your pace
- Deeper patient relationships than a typical clinic allows
- A physician team that actually supports you, not just supervises
- A growing local company with room to specialize and grow with it
Where you'll work:
On the road across Oʻahu — patient homes, SNFs, ALFs, and other community sites.
Pay: $144,000.00 - $177,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person

Tips for Your Wound Care Nurse Practitioner Job Search
Highlight your wound care certifications prominently
Certifications like the Wound Care Certified or Certified Wound Specialist credential separate you immediately from general NP applicants. Place them in a dedicated credentials section near the top of your resume, not buried in an education block.
Tailor your resume to the care setting
A hospital-based wound care role emphasizes acute wound management and interdisciplinary rounding, while a home health role prioritizes autonomous assessment and telehealth documentation. Adjust your bullet points to reflect the specific environment before each application.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists wound care nurse practitioner openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Search by clinical setting, not just job title
Wound care NP openings appear under titles like advanced practice wound specialist, ostomy and continence NP, or tissue viability nurse practitioner. Searching by setting, such as long-term acute care or hyperbaric centers, surfaces roles that keyword searches on title alone miss.
Prepare case-based answers for clinical interviews
Interviewers for wound care NP roles routinely ask you to walk through a complex wound assessment, debridement decision, or failed healing case. Practice structured responses that cover your assessment framework, treatment rationale, and outcomes documentation.
Negotiate for continuing education support
Wound care protocols and biologics evolve quickly, so employer-funded continuing education and conference attendance have real career value here. Ask specifically about annual CE budgets and whether the role supports recertification exam fees during your offer conversation.
Wound Care Nurse Practitioner Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most wound care nurse practitioners?
The companies hiring the most wound care nurse practitioners right now include Korzen Health, Caremed, and Wound Providers of America, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Ohio, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Health systems with dedicated wound care centers and large long-term acute care networks tend to post the highest volume of openings.
How many wound care nurse practitioner jobs are remote?
About 8% of wound care nurse practitioner openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most wound care work. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are wound care consultation, telehealth wound assessment, and care management roles that support home health or hospice programs.
How do you become a wound care nurse practitioner?
Start by completing a master's or doctoral nurse practitioner program and obtaining licensure in your state. Gain clinical experience in wound, ostomy, or continence care through hospital, long-term care, or outpatient settings. Pursue a recognized certification such as the Wound Care Certified or Certified Wound Specialist credential. Many employers also value experience with specific modalities like hyperbaric oxygen therapy or negative pressure wound therapy.
Can you get hired as a wound care nurse practitioner with little experience?
Yes, some employers hire new nurse practitioners into wound care roles if you completed clinical rotations in relevant settings or hold a wound care certification. Targeting long-term care facilities and outpatient wound clinics tends to yield more entry-level openings than acute hospital systems. Volunteering for wound care responsibilities during your current NP role, even informally, strengthens your candidacy before you apply.
What does the wound care nurse practitioner interview process look like?
Most wound care NP interviews involve an initial screening call with a recruiter or HR contact, followed by a clinical interview with the wound care medical director or department lead. You should expect case-based questions on wound classification, treatment planning, and documentation. Some employers include a skills assessment or facility tour, particularly for roles in inpatient or long-term acute care settings.
