Reboot, Regroup, Re-energize; Moving Beyond the Pandemic Join us as we meet IN PERSON for our annual North Central Region WOCN Affiliate Conference. The conference is intended for healthcare professionals, nursing students, industry representatives, and public allies seeking additional knowledge in the subspecialties of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence nursing. The focus is moving beyond the pandemic by rebooting, regrouping, and re-energizing ourselves and our care. This conference will provide an opportunity to learn how COVID-19 has affected WOC nursing through the experiences of our members as presenters, network with fellow WOC nurses, and connect with local and national industry members. Please join us as we come together for two days of education to enhance our practice in WOC nursing. Approximately 8 nursing CEs will be offered in 3 of the 4 WOC nursing subspecialties (W, O, & P). At no extra cost, a Conservative Sharp Wound Debridement (CSWD) course will be provided, which includes certification upon course completion. Additionally, our pre-conference sessions include 2 Industry-provided presentations as an opportunity for additional CEs.
