PGP Handbook

The WOCNCB® is committed to updating the PGP process to reflect the most current clinical practices of the WOC nursing profession. Toward that end, the PGP Committee will revise the PGP Handbook every two years to meet the ongoing changes in WOC nursing.

It is the responsibility of certificants to ensure they are using the appropriate edition of the handbook for the period in which they are recertifying. Certificants submitting their PGP applications between ---- December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 may submit their portfolios utilizing the point distribution of either the April 2006 or the February 2008 handbook. After January 1, 2009, certificants must adhere to the point distribution requirements of the February 2008 handbook.

If you have questions, please call the WOCNCB® office at 1-888-496-2622.
