  1. First PICC insertion!

    I just started my PICC insertion orientation. Yesterday I saw my first four as I was only scheduled to observe at first. I do have a few questions for you experienced gals. First...I saw the nurse use the same needle at least 4 or 5 times in search o...
  2. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    My understanding is NO, you do not have to take the test. Many practice without it. You do need to show that you have been trained though. Keep your curriculum materials to prove that you have this knowledge. I encourage you to take the exam though.....
  3. PICC Insertion pointers

    Hello Amy, I am just beginning my PICC training. I'll be visiting often to read responses to your question as I expect to be running into the same type of problems when I finally make my first insertion attempts. My first thought to your dilemma is s...
  4. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    I dont believe the lurkers are other nurses. My experience with other foot care nurses has been nothing but positive. In fact, all of us have willingly shared our business models, policy and procedures,forms that we independently develop, brochures a...
  5. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    Hi Bizi, You may not be hearing from some owners because there have been podiatric lurkers who have used these forums to initiate investigations on some independent foot care nurses( approximately 5 that i know of). I was told this by a podiatrist fr...
  6. What type of shoes do you buy?

    After starting a new job in a busy GI Lab, I was told by staff that Danskos were the way to go. Fast forward 9 months later...I am now being treated for plantar fasciitus my podiatrist thinks was caused by those shoes. Danskos do not offer half sizes...
  7. Hi NC29mom, I used LEGALZOOM to set up my LLC. They take care if everything including the naming and licensing. It was fast and cheap. There is no reason to employ a lawyer because this is not a complicated business arrangement. I paid $270ish as opp...
  8. Duquesne Accelerated BSN Program...

    Hello Oye, My daughter and I attended the open house and we were quite impressed. You may be interested to know that the new Dean is from Drexel and is wonderful ( per a friend who is a Drexel nursing Professor). The one negative thing that might be...
  9. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    When I first researched this business idea, I assumed that I would have to register or notify the Dept. Of Health about my foot care practice. It turns out that I did not. Apparently, the fact that I am an RN and governed by the Board of Nursing, it ...
  10. help understanding non rebreather masks

    I'll echo the above statements....not a stupid question. I actually worked almost exclusively with vent kids. I never needed to use the non-rebreather mask (even though I was a "pulmonary" nurse) until I started working in a GI lab. How embarrassed I...
  11. Foot Care Nurse

    Excellent! Congrats! Did ya get the question about the paperclip? A little "dark ages" I thought. LOL
  12. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    Hi stepnurse01, I am not pursuing relationships with podiatrists. Sadly, the Board of Podiatry does not seem to be open to coordinated care with nurses. They seem more suspicious than anything else. Interestingly, so far, my clients are either nurses...
  13. Foot Care Nurse

    Hello Dawnma, Too much info to share in one short response. I am happy to have a chat with you about what we did and are still working on. It is definitely a work in progress. If you haven't already done so, peruse the entirety of past Allnurses foot...
