In order for me to find training in which to become certified (in Canada) I looked in the yellow pages of my phonebook and looked under Nursing Services which offers FootCare. I found an accredited national agency which offers foot care services. I contacted them and inquired if they offer training, which they did The course is an Advanced & Diabetic Foot Care Course,which a certificate is issued after completion of the 5 days,and writing an exam. The course is very detailed,and well presented. I have no regrets,and would encourage anyone to further persue taking this course. I had the option to pay for the course,or sign a contract with them for 1 year of employment, and they absorbed the cost of the course. I signed the contract,as I felt it would be benificial to have others to refer to if I had questions,and or needed direction. The course was 5 long days, but well worth every minute. I began holding clinics the very next week.Most clinics have 10 appts. per day...each lasting 45 minutes. I now have 15 clinics per month,approx 60 home clients,and also do approx 100 residents at a local nursing home. I have been so blessed with so many wonderful clients...it has been a very positive experience. In closing, requirements for this course is LPN/RPN or RN. Hope this info helps.

I've had something or other simular to what you are describing, along with a dry hacking cough...especially at night, or when my throat gets dry. I've been fighting it for about 2 weeks,and still not much improvement. I sure hope I soon improve...as well as everyone else who is suffering.....hope we're all better soon.

I am glad to say I have taken my Advanced & Diabetic Foot Care Course, and have been certified. Since taking the course in October, I have 5 clinics per month (mostly all have 10 clients per day), I have 32 residents at a Nursing Home, and approx. 60 Homes I do foot care as well. Just today I aquired 4 more clinics and 3 more Home Clients! (My client base grows pretty much on a constant basis). I really enjoy doing foot care and am so glad I was finally able to find a Certification Program.

Tutti...can you send me the link for the website of Anne Nelson? I have been searching all over for a canadian certification site/school for both Basic & Advanced foot care. Many Thanks
