CWONgal Specializes in CWON - Certified Wound and Ostomy Nurse. Has 12 years experience. Nov 15, 2014 Did the WOCNCB route and highly recommend it although it is a best pricey. Several programs offer distance learning. For each specialty you choose you will be expected to complete 40 hours of clinical time (Wound, Ostomy, Continence) and then possibly a week at the school. Check out the program available at Emory University. It's great. 0 Likes
