Karen Zulkowski is the GOAT of wound care nursing. Her professional journey began with earning a BSN in 1972 and culminated with a Doctorate in Nursing Science. Throughout her career, she has held various roles, including business owner, associate nursing professor, and wound course instructor. Karen has also served on the National Pressure Injury Advisory Board and the World Council of Enterostomal Therapists. Her extensive research and publications in peer-reviewed articles, both nationally and internationally, reflect her commitment to advancing wound care.
Karen's primary focus is always on the patient, and she aims to improve patient care by bridging the gap between wound care research and clinical practice. In our discussion, she highlighted the knowledge gaps in wound care, the evolving landscape, and the exciting advancements in technology.
Karen says wound care nursing is not for everyone, it requires a special dedication, and I would encourage those interested in this field to listen to her insights.
