We know that Laurie, Gail and Mary will make significant contributions to the direction and goals of the WOCNCB that will maintain the credibility, validity and visibility of the WOCNCB, The Gold Standard for Certificationsm.
The Measure of a Man: Public Board Member ends two consecutive service terms
Frank Perdue and his wife, Kathy.
Frank has represented the interests of the healthcare consumer as the Public Member of the WOCNCB Board of Directors
If, as 18th-century poet and biographer Samuel Johnson said, the true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good, J. Frank Perdue must be mighty tall.
Mr. Perdue, or Frank, as he prefers to be called, will step down this fall from four years of service on the WOCNCB Board of Directors. As the public member of the board, Frank has represented the interests of the healthcare consumer. He became involved in the board at the invitation of WOCNCB immediate past President Kathy Wright, MS, BC, RN, APRN, CWOCN, who was his certified ostomy nurse at one time. Frank remembers being impressed with the knowledge Kathy brought and how it changed his life.
Frank was only 12 years old when he received his ostomy due to ulcerative colitis 48 years ago. As he describes it, "I was whacked and hacked at a hospital 100 miles from home, and they sent me home with two rubber pouches - short and long for day and night. I'd have to change it daily, using glue, and take the glue off with ether. There was no support, I was only 12. It was kind of tough. But I got through it."
Indeed he did. At the age of 18 Frank got married and soon after was in the hospital for a repair of a herniated ostomy. There he met Becky Bell, an ET nurse who told him about newer ostomy technology including drainable pouches that did not require daily removal. Later he met Kathy Wright. "Both were extremely helpful. They gave me more mobility and I was able to travel without having to haul all the equipment around."
Kathy met Frank during her earliest days of working with ostomy clients and remembers him as a role model ostomy visitor. She recalls, "Frank was a wonderful inspiration to those struggling with this significant change in body image. When asked if he would be interested in being considered for the WOCNCB Public Member position, Frank immediately responded affirmatively...as that is his style! Always willing to serve, to give back, and to do whatever he can to make things better for others!"
Regarding this volunteer work, Frank explains "I'd call on people who just had ostomy surgery. They are amazed when I walk in. They've just been through surgery and are scared and ask me why I was there. When I say 'Because I have an ostomy and have had for 48 years', they're relieved when they see that life goes on."
Frank has never let his ostomy slow him down. He has been employed in banking for over 40 years, and he and his family have been involved in golfing, camping, gardening, and auto racing on a half-mile dirt track. These days, Frank works on the cars and his sons drive. "I provide the financing," he adds, "hence the message on the car - Breakin' the Bank!"
As Frank reflects about his service on the board from a patient's point of view, he is aware that he was making sure what he saw being done by the board was for the benefit of the patient. He is also impressed by the intelligence and caring of the WOCNCB-certified wound, ostomy and continence nurses with whom he served. "It's good to be involved, to know there is a gold standard, and this is comforting as a public member of the board and as a patient." He also encourages others to consider serving as a public member. "Do it! It's eye opening, even though I did not think I could contribute. I think I did."
The board knows he did, and many members have mentioned the following story, as told by Kathy Wright. "Frank's wedding anniversary often coincided with the WOCN Society conference, but he did not allow that to stand in the way of keeping his commitment to the board. Instead, he brought his lovely wife along with him and shared a little bit of our world, the world he has graciously stepped into for two terms, with his sweet bride!"
THANKS, Frank for your many service roles. You'll be missed by each of us.
Marketing yourself and the WOCNCB credentials
Marketing Committee Chair
As I write this article, the debate on healthcare and how to best proceed continues in Congress. While I do not have the solution, I have an opinion (imagine that — a nurse with an opinion). Unfortunately — or fortunately, most of us will not have the opportunity to impact healthcare on such a scale. There is one opinion that I believe you, as nurses, will find value in: Marketing Yourself!
As a WOCNCB-certified wound, ostomy, continence or foot care nurse, you have a lot to be proud of. You have the ability to impact the lives of every person you come in contact with. For example:
- Your patients — achieve a quality of life they would not have without your help
- Your peers — benefit from your in-depth knowledge to ensure patient care at a higher level and with better outcomes
- Your physician partners — rely on your expertise to manage patients with complications
- Your family and others — have a resource to turn to for the best care possible with the fastest and least painful recovery
As a credentialing body of healthcare providers, the WOCNCB does not want any confusion regarding our credentials and qualifications. Ultimately, the competition could impact your job security and the confidence of your customers across the continuum of care. The answer rests in the ability of each of us to market ourselves and our credentials as The Gold Standard for Certificationsm.
Another challenge is our aging population, both within our certificant ranks and the general population. Approximately 45% of the current CWOCN certificants are over the age of 50, and there is a significant onslaught of baby boomers, (456 grow a year older every hour of every day). This challenge impacts us all and we must begin to train our replacements, share the pride and transfer the knowledge that sets us apart.
Every WOCNCB-certified nurse plays a vital role in the healthcare community and performs a job like none other in the community. Each of us needs to spread the word about the skills we utilize every day and the quality of certification by the WOCNCB. We'll all reap the benefits in personal satisfaction, recognition and opportunities for career advancement.
To help increase the impact of our organization and to reach additional younger members of the nursing community, our marketing committee is pursuing additional avenues to market your credentials. A few of these avenues are:
- Web-based support and social networking to make communication more flexible and to reach other generations of nurses
- Direct mail, e-mail and personal contact with healthcare administrators, regulators, and payers
- Polling you and other practitioners in our specialties to learn how the WOCNCB can be more helpful
These activities are just a sample of what we're working on now. We encourage you share your ideas by contacting a WOCNCB board member, committee member or the WOCNCB office at (888) 496-2622 or marketingmanager@wocncb.org. Don't be afraid to tell us what you think — the only bad idea is the one you don't share!
Over the years, I have seen the prestige, recognition, and most of all, felt the personal satisfaction of being a CWOCN. The ability to impact and improve quality of life as a CWOCN continues to drive me to pursue my own recertification. It is my obligation to show those trusted to my care that I represent the best in wound care with certification from The Gold Standard for Certification!
I look forward to continuing to serve as the Marketing Committee Chair and hearing more from you, our customers.
Best Regards,
Bill Brandon, BSN, RN, CWOCN
Marketing the WOC Specialty
A must-read article in May/June The Remington Report tells why the WOC specially is critically important today. To read and share this timely article by WOCN Society President-Elect Dr. Phyllis Bonham, PhD, RN, MSN, CWOCN, go to www.remingtonreport.com and search for Bonham. You must be a Remington Report subscriber for free access to the article online.
The Value of Board Certification: Standing Shoulder to Shoulder in Wound Care
Carol L. Anderson RN, MSN, CWCN, is the owner and president of Advanced Therapy Surfaces, Inc., a JCAHO-accredited home medical equipment company in Maplewood, Minnesota. Carol sought her Certified Wound Care Nurse (CWCN®) credential to help her business become the "go-to" resource for plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons and wound centers in her state. "We did not want to be viewed as another catalog sales company but as clinicians in wound care and consulting. I wanted to be intellectually involved in wound care," she explains.
Intellectually involved is just an understatement. Carol worked to complete her MSN and CWCN at the same time. "I knew some before," she recalls. "I was a novice in the WOC world, and the knowledge and critical thinking required to evaluate if healing has happened raised the bar."
In her work, Carol interfaces and consults daily with WOCNCB–certified nurses in home care, long term care, clinics, wound centers and hospitals. "My new knowledge helped as an entrepreneur and as a professional. When speaking to them in Minnesota or nationally, it makes a strong bond — as an ally and resource."
It is that bond that is the unexpected value that Carol received from WOCNCB certification. "It doesn't matter where they are located," she explains. "It's a bond that bridges all practice. I got the higher level of intelligence and practice. Now I can stand shoulder to shoulder with them in wound care. We should all get stripes for the quality work we do."
Education and Wound Care
One important part of Carol's business is educating healthcare professionals, patients and their families to properly use, maintain and troubleshoot the equipment they purchase or rent.
When Carol looks back at the certification process, she did not imagine certification would make such a difference in her life. "I did not know I'd get the added pearl," she says. "Today, I just can't imagine anyone getting credentialed and not being impacted - personally and professionally."
Get Involved : Initiative on the Future of Nursing in America
If you are thinking about your future, you might be happy to know that the Institute of Medicine is, too. Earlier this year the Institute of Medicine, with funding from the non-profit Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, began a project to identify how nurses can play a greater role in the challenges the United States' healthcare system faces today. You might be even happier to learn that you are invited to attend the meetings in person or via Webcast and to submit your own input about this important topic.
The Initiative on the Future of Nursing in America is conducted by a committee of 16 healthcare leaders. The chair is Donna E. Shalala, PhD, former secretary of Health and Human Services under President Clinton. The vice chair is someone who understands the value of nurses and the challenges you face. She is Linda Burnes Bolton, DrPH, RN, FAAN, vice president for nursing, chief nursing officer and director of nursing research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The committee is conducting three forums to gather data for a final report on recommendations scheduled to be released in fall 2010. Attendance is open to the public with pre-registration, and input from nurses and other stakeholders is welcome. The first forum was held in Washington, D.C. on September 14, 2009. Future forums are scheduled for October 19, 2009 in Los Angeles, December 3, 2009 in Philadelphia, PA, and February 22, 2010 in Houston, TX.
Forum registration information, instructions for submitting written testimony, video podcasts, listserve registration and other information about the initiative are available at http://www.iom.edu/?ID=64233.
