Certifications Update

Dear colleagues,

Most important right now is the well-being of you and your loved ones. Certification and recertification is likely not a priority for you at the moment. However, it may interest us all to know that the WOC Certification Board is experiencing exam site closures, and is extending expiration dates for on current certifications that are nearing the end date. While we cannot speak for the certification board, we can share information. If you are interested to look further, this link will take you directly to the certification board site so you can see if or how this may be affecting your own status. Each of you are one of today’s heroes! Know you are facing tremendous odds and uncertainty in your lives, and it is through the efforts of nurses, physicians, and all front line people that we will move forward.
