About Us / Membership / Out Patient Care
I practice in an Outpatient Setting… What’s in it for me?
Professionals who practice in outpatient facilities have myriad responsibilities, including but not limited to: direct patient care, evaluation of patients for wound care, ordering and tracking inventory, supervising staff, acting as liaisons between doctors and patients, managing outpatient care, and more.
For these individuals, the WOCN Society is essential to their professional growth because it offers:
- Topic specific position statements prepared by the WOCN Society.
- Clinical Fact Sheets that provide topical information on the key issues faced by WOC professionals.
- An entire series of Clinical Practice Guidelines, which are invaluable in determining protocols.
- Patient Guides featuring basic information on a variety of essential topics.
- Strategies for successful marketing.
“Belonging to a group of nurses who specialize in the same area increases overall care and expertise.“
