The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing Certification Board (WOCNCB) has offered nurses an opportunity to validate their commitment to excellence, leadership, evidenced-based and safe care in wound, ostomy, continence and foot care nursing.
The WOCNCB has grown since its founding in 1978. To keep up with the ever-evolving need for specialty nurses at all levels of practice, the WOCNCB is excited to launch in 2012 our Advanced Practice certification exams in wound, ostomy and continence nursing. In addition, we are continuing to keep our finger on the pulse of our complex health care environment in order to promote the value of our legally defensible certifications.
All of the members of the certification board and staff are here for you. Contact us let us know what you think. Better yet, get involved.
