Good for you! I think it's great to see someone interested in ostomy care.
Who provides the ostomy supplies at your hospital? We use Convatec and the rep. gave
us a plastic stoma to use for practise with applying the wafer plus several pouches.
The United Ostomy Associations of America has a wonderful website of information, plus
tips and perspectives from ostomates themselves.

And when you complete the learning exercise you can print it off as evidence
To make a "pretend" stoma, take a plastic plate, and turn over. Get some red modeling clay at the local hobby store, make a stoma, and attach to the plate (sometimes the clay will adhere on its own). Now you can demonstrate measuring the stoma with a measuring guide, cutting the correct opening, applying paste, and applying to stoma.
Good luck!

I'm a nursing student and we need to do a teaching plan during our clinicals. I decided to do a colostomy care since I had 2 patients with colostomy and it was very interesting. it would be great if i had the actual simulator body to show the stoma but can't afford it as well as the bag. where can i get great info?
