Foot care training

[kernow]

I have been interested in starting a foot care service for some time now and after reading posts from LoisJean feel this is something I can do. I would like to start out by receiving some kind of training but cannot find anyone who provides this type of course.

I have been in touch with LoisJean who has given me wonderful information about becoming an independent provider performing foot/nail care however I would like to take a course of some description to make myself more prefessional. I found a course titled "Foot & Nail care for Nurses" which sounds absolutely perfect but it is Wisconsin and I live in New York, I cannot find anything else closer to home.

If anyone has crossed this bridge already and can offer any advice I would be extremely grateful.

Clients can claim for footcare on income tax. You have to provide a receipt.

I recently started my own Foot Care Business here in Virginia.

I did take my hands on training with RainierMedEd.

and also took the Foot and Nail Care for Registered Nuses - DVD Series for 5.0 contact hrs. that the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing offers. Now I qualify to take the Examination for Certified Foot Care Nurse by WOCNCB - the exam cost $300. I have been doing foot care for my pt's for over 25 years and wanted to retire from my traditional nursing job to do "Nursing for the Feet!" LOL I am in transition as we speak.

I currently work the night shift at my local Rehab/LTC facility and pursue growing my business during the day. NSO will cover FootCare Nurses for approx $600 plus annually - with general liability (recommended).

"It is interesting that you mention olive oil Lois. Last summer I started making my own medicinal salves and use olive oil as my base oil. Last October I presented at the foot care nursing course in Winnipeg. My presentation was called " How to Incorporate Your Hobby into Your Business ". I did a slide show on making a medicinal salve. If anyone want the handouts for this, please pm me and I will email you back my recipe. It is really fun to be able to use something you make on your clients. And even better, it works! "

Hi

Can you send me the recipe please? [email protected]

Good Morning everyone! I took the WOCNCB exam March 25th, 2011 - Hurray, I passed. Just so you all know this is not the end for studying and keeping up with trends, evidence based practice, etc. You have to recertify every 5 years to keep your Credentials. You can either take the Exam every 5 years or Do the Professional Growth Program. I to make my own soaps, moisturizers for myself and incorporated them for my Foot Nurse business. One of my favorite recipes is made with Shea Butter and JoJoba with essential oils. Feel free to email me directly at [email protected] with any questions.

I just found a new listing for foot care training online in case this might help anyone.

I just checked out that web site. It seems a little scant on information.

Do you know anything about the creators of the program and its curricula?

Given the cost, I'd expect a little more detail before I send money.

Can anyone advise me on getting more information on courses for becoming a Foot Nurse in NYC? Please share any links that would be helpful too? This seems very interesting. Thanks in advance.
