I think I have enough Hours of Experience – can I opt out of the Practicum?

If you have experience in any of the scopes you are applying for, you may be able to skip practicum using WOCNCB’s experiential pathway. The certification board allows learners with 1,500 documented hours of experience in Wound, Ostomy, and/or Continence to apply for their exams through the experiential pathway. WEB WOC does not verify these hours. More information on this pathway to certification can be found here: http://www.wocncb.org/certification/wound-ostomy-continence/eligibility/.
