WOCNCB Heroes Helping Heroes Program
For U.S. Military Veterans
Heroes Helping Heroes
As members of a unique specialty field of healthcare, wound, ostomy and continence nurses perform heroic acts every day, but our service cannot compare with the service provided to our country by members of our armed forces.
The WOCNCB is proud to support the veterans of the U.S. armed forces by offering certification exam fee discounts to qualified U.S. military veterans, extraordinary heroes willing to give so much for others.
The program provides a 30% fee reduction for first-time wound, ostomy, continence or foot care certification examinations. Depending upon the number of examinations you apply you can save more than $100.
To apply for the discount you must
- meet the WOCNCB's standard eligibility requirements for wound, ostomy or continence certification or foot care certification
- provide proof of honorable discharge from U.S. military service (DD for 214) with your application, and
- provide a Heroes Helping Heroes coupon with your application. Click here to download a coupon.
Thank you for your service!
Disaster Relief from WOCNCB
Certificate Replacement, Exam Extension and Benevolence Fund
For a number of years the WOCNCB® has reached out to its certificants in need with a helping hand. We know that our members are sometimes dealing with the consequences of either personal or natural disasters. Recovering from a crisis in your life takes months, with immediate needs being addressed first. Whether it was a hurricane, tornado, flooding, fire or some other natural or personal disaster, we want you to know that the WOCNCB® understands and wants to be there for you.
While we can never replace treasured keepsakes like family photos and refrigerator works of art, we can replace your WOCNCB® certificate. If yours has been lost or damaged please contact the office at 1-888-496-2622 or info@wocncb.org and we will be happy to send a new certificate to you. It is a small gesture but will hopefully place you one step further along your journey of putting your life back together.
The WOCNCB® is committed to supporting each and every certificant. For those persons who qualify we grant extensions for testing, and through our Benevolence Fund, assist with meeting exam or PGP fees.
Your WOCNCB® is here for you. We welcome the opportunity to help you so that you, in turn, can continue to help others.
Please honor our 30 year Certificants
