Accepting the Challenge

From Personal Challenge to Opportunity of a Lifetime
Suzanne Collins MS, RN, CWOCN

MS, RN, CWOCN

Like many nurses, I did not know when I graduated from college that I would ever become interested in what I do today. Over many years in a varied nursing career, opportunities to investigate presented themselves all the time. But it was the challenge and opportunity of intense hardship that made all the difference.

After a long marriage, my husband suddenly left his family and I found myself with three college tuitions looming over my head. In the previous seven years, I had been a full time wife, mother, and domestic engineer who transplanted our family twice to support my husband's job opportunities. With the increased financial obligations, completing a nurse refresher training course became immediately necessary. I found a job on a medical unit at the big hospital downtown. My hourly wage was quite low: I had been told by the nurse recruiter that my job skills were obsolete. What was I to do?

Opportunity knocked. A severe shortage in the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse Department made the Lead Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse (CWOCN®) go shopping for candidates in-house. Over a complex VAC dressing, she discussed the challenges and joys of the job. My love for ostomy patients and the art of wound care from two decades ago resurfaced. I relived the fond memories of my first nurse mentor. She was a Certified Enterostomal Therapy Nurse (CETN), now referred to as a CWOCN. She loved the ET profession and led me through my first two tough years in the nursing profession. At that time I had wanted to quit nursing and try something easy . . . like medical school.

My hourly wage was quite low: I had been told by the nurse recruiter that my job skills were obsolete. What was I to do?

The Lead CWOCN secured a position for me as an interning WOC nurse while I dedicated myself to distance learning through Emory University's Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse Education Program. That meant a little more money - and a lot more fun! It took nine months to get through the coursework, and after all that effort it made no sense whatsoever to go for anything other than the full-scope Board certification. I wanted "the gold standard" to be reflected in my preparation and in my title.

In April of 2005, I sat for all three exams relevant to the WOCN specialization and passed on the first attempt. As a Board Certified WOC nurse, I immediately received a very significant raise, a new nametag, and the privilege to practice my specialty independently as a peer within my beloved team of Certified WOC nurses at the hospital.

"now I assist with developing clinical solutions for other Board Certified WOC nurse customers, supply scientific and best-practice support through knowledge of the professional literature..."

Now, after years of high-demand work as a CWOCN in the flagship hospital in my area, I have expanded my impact on patient care by entering a different area of the industry. As a respected consultant to a medical products sales force, now I assist with developing clinical solutions for other Board Certified WOC nurse customers, supply scientific and best-practice support through knowledge of the professional literature, assist with product positioning, and many other functions. Very importantly, I can influence the development of new products to assist with the challenges of wound care across the patients' lifespan. For me, pursuing and obtaining WOCNCB certification that is considered The Gold Standard for Certificationsm has been the opportunity of a lifetime. When I left college, I never dreamed that I would be able to make a difference in the lives of so many people. Today I can, because of my advanced education and clinical expertise from the rigorous Certification process in my discipline. I am proud wear the title of Board Certified WOC nurse.

The Gift of Time

Saving Her Precious Time
Time is Money - and even more precious to some, as this true story reveals
Denise Elston, BSN, RN, CWOCN

I am a Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse (CWOCNŽ). I know that the education and training required for Board certification is valuable to me and more important to my patients. This patient benefited from my being a CWOCN by getting back her precious time.

Mrs. Simon (not her real name) was 65 years old with a colostomy for palliative treatment because of colon cancer. She was referred to me by an office nurse because her pouches were leaking. Well, no wonder; she was still wearing the same pouch type with the same stoma size she had been given after surgery more than a year ago. It did not fit correctly. Neither the hospital where she had her surgery nor the home health care service used the services of a WOC specialty nurse.

I easily fitted her with a properly sized wafer and pouch and then asked about her emptying routine. I don't know why I asked, but I am glad I did.

Mrs. Simon said she had no problems with emptying and showed me the routine she was taught. First, she took out newspaper, syringes, a plastic pitcher, and a water bottle. She kneeled on the paper on the floor and began to wash and clean the pouch. Her routine took between 30 and 40 minutes to complete. Mrs. Simon typically emptied five or six times daily, and she carried the necessary items with her in a tote bag wherever she went. This dear lady had literally spent three or more hours in the bathroom every day!

After working together for less than an hour, Mrs. Simon was able to empty in fewer than five minutes. When I called her a week later; she reported that the leaking issue was resolved. She was happy to be rid of a heavy load of bathroom equipment. More important, she was grateful for the freedom to spend time away from the bathroom.

Mrs. Simon knew she was running out of time because of her cancer. Because of my experience and knowledge about supplies and technique, I was able to give her something money can not buy: the precious gift of time.

We may feel sometimes that the time and effort required to meet the eligibility requirements and pass the certification examination are too demanding. But those requirements, which include practical, evidence-based, and theoretical knowledge, enable Board Certified wound, ostomy, or continence nurses to bring benefits to everyone: healthcare administrators and team members, physicians, employers, insurers and other payors, and, especially to patients.
