Why doesn the WOCNCB offer updated information about treatments, technology and medications?
The WOCNCB is legally chartered as a certification board with the mission to promote the highest standard of consumer care and safety by providing credentialing in the areas of wound, ostomy, continence and foot care nursing. Providing medical information is beyond the scope of our charter. Information about treatments, technology and medications is available from the WOCN Society. • I need study materials and CEs for the certification or recertification exam. Why doesn’t the WOCNCB provide classes and study materials? The WOCNCB avoids any possible conflicts of interest between certification and education functions. However, the WOCNCB Web site does offer links to resources offering CEs, text books, and review courses.
