   When I do home visits I sit on the floor in a stadium seat, sort or Janpanese style, with the client sitting in a comfortable chair. Since using this method I very rarely have back discomfort. You can get these seats at sporting good stores. It was...

   I know of some upcoming courses and events, but since I am participating in some, I guess I can not post them on this site. If anyone wants further information, they can message me. One will be in Santa Rosa, the other in Portland. Both 3 day cour...

   Just to let you know. The course in Seattle is non-profit and I am speaking for free. This was not an advertisement. There is a company paying my airfare there and that is all. I am taking a loss so I can share free information with other foot nu...

   I have finally gotten the material on the FNANA, Foot Nurse Alliance of North America. I am going to try and breathe life back into it. I think it will eventually transform into a real Association. For now it is just a free Alliance to keep nurses...

   About 7-8 years ago a woman (one of the original pioneers of foot care nursing in the US) named Jane Kelly started an association called F.N.A.N.A. FOOT NURSE ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA. (pronounced fananna) Her husband was very ill and she was ne...

   Stainless stell nippers of various sizes ( I will use up to 3 different nippers on one person's feet) Buy German and buy the best. I prefer straight, not curved. Rasps are totally different and used for the corners to prevent spicules. I do not fi...

    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 inv...

14. Foot Care Nurses In The Uk???Any out there??

    guest*** replied to guest***'s topic in UK

    Thank you so much for you quick response. It sounds as if the situation in the UK is very much like it is in the US. Almost every nurse I have ever met here in the states, believes that nurses can not trim nails. They think it is out of our scope ...

    Hello, I am a foot nurse from California. Last summer I spent 10 days in England (remember when it was 105 degrees? I was on a tour at Windsor Castle on that day). I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a full day at a diabetic foot clinic at ...
