Foot care training

I am gathering information about the best electric nail filing systems and bits, as I feel, aside from good nippers, this is the most useful tool there is in foot care. Dremmels should be thrown in the garbage. I was an expert witness on a case involving a dremmel use and the resulting 4 amputation surgeries that followed.

Chicago Podiatric supplies are good
Sally's Beauty Supply
Go to some of the podiatrist sites like Podiatry Online and sign up for their forums. They have used equipment sometimes.
Ebay has used autoclaves and dopplers

BUT before you go out and buy this stuff, you should be very committed to this feild as it can get pretty expensive. Many nurses I have met over the past 10 years think this is a great "get rich quick" feild. They do not consider the time involved becoming skilled. It takes doing literally hundreds of nails before you can truly feel confident with whatever nails you come across. Good tools are essential.

Good luck!

Thanks for the update!

J: Thank you for the thorough information on supplies. Is the beauty supply store the best option?

You must wear white uniforms (nonpolyester) to bleach them before the wash. Cool.

Karen: Great links! Thank you for posting them!
