Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing Certification Board Selects Three Winners of the 2008 Certification Grant

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, April 30, 2008 The Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing Certification Board (WOCNCB) announced today that Susan L. Maditz, RN, MSN, CWOCN of Fairmont, West Virgina; Patricia A. Lipschultz, RN, BSN, CWOCN of Highland, California; and Dawn M. Julian, APRN, MSN, CWON of Westmoreland, Kansas were selected as recipients of the 2008 WOCNCB Certification Grant. The announcement was made by Carol Calianno, Chair of the WOCNCB Awards Committee, at the spring 2008 WOCNCB Board Meeting, held April 19, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Since its founding in 1978, WOCNCB has been promoting the highest standard of consumer care and safety by providing credentialing in the areas of wound, ostomy, continence and foot care nursing. The WOCNCB Certification Grant was developed as a means to publicly recognize certificants who are highly motivated, currently in clinical practice, and who are in a position which will enable them to disseminate knowledge acquired through certification to others in their practice setting.

Among the criteria necessary to win this award, these candidates confirmed their clinical strengths, interests and challenges and their ability to demonstrate the use of certification in their daily practice. They will each receive financial reimbursement up to $450.00 USD toward certification fees.
