I would like to start out doing foot care privately, part time until I can become certified and build up clientele. Does anyone have experience in starting out? If so, is there any advice with where I should start?
It may take a while but I suggest you read thru this entire thread if you have not done so already.
Start researching your state RN scope of practice, there may be directives in place as far as your particular educational requirements and guidelines...
there are different ways to obtain training, through schools, individual training, there is a certification process as well.
Feel free to contact me...I have a small in home practice.
I wish you much luck working with the elderly is very rewarding.
