Watch the symposia session from WOCNext® 2025, (S03) Anticipatory Guidance: Elevating Future Ostomy Care

About the Speaker:

Debra Netsch, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, CNP, CWOCN-AP, CFCN, has been a WOC nurse for 40 years and a Family Nurse Practitioner for 29 years. In practicing part time of both, she has realized the need for anticipatory guidance models from primary care needing to be extended into the WOC Nurse practice. As a Co-Director and faculty of WEB WOC, it is natural that educating WOC Nurses on this topic evolves to teaching anticipatory guidance.
