ANA Recognizes WOC Nursing as a Specialty Practice
|
Have you heard the news?
The American Nursing Association (ANA) recently recognized Wound,
Ostomy and Continence (WOC) nursing as a specialty practice within the ANA. This is
a significant accomplishment with important ramifications for WOC nurses.
In order
to qualify as an ANA-approved specialty practice, the WOCN Society embarked on a
multiyear effort to document our history, expertise, and standards of practice.
The process was intensive and we appreciate the efforts of the WOCN ANA Scope
and Practice Task Force (Kathleen Lawrence, Jo Catanzaro, Carolyn Eddins, Gail
Forthoffer, Theresa Jacobson, and Patricia Slachta) WOCN Society members whose comments
and feedback were instrumental in refining the required documents, and the
review and support provided by the ANA.
The full
Scope and Standards will be available to purchase by June. Please visit the
WOCN Web site to learn more (www.wocn.org).
