About WOC Nursing:

Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nurses practice in a variety of settings, and offer a tremendous amount of technical assistance, comfort and support to patients and their families. They are trained to address the physical, emotional and social issues of patients with ostomies, stomas, acute and chronic wounds, and urinary and fecal incontinence.

The main duties of a Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nurse include:

- Dressing wounds.
- Assisting patients with urinary and fecal incontinence.
- Supporting patients with ostomy bags and other methods of
artificial waste elimination.
- Educating patients and their families on how best to manage
a new ostomy.

Whether you specialize in wounds, ostomies or incontinence, all three practice areas offer opportunity for professional growth as well as opportunity to play
a pivotal role in the guidance of optimal patient care.
