  1. Foot care training

    Greetings Hisdaughter, I haven't visited this site for awhile, and from the looks of it, either has anyone else! So, are you in Washington? Welcome to the world of foot care! I have been an LPN for...
  2. I am an LPN and work 3 days a week in a great facility. I could really use some extra cash, but do not want to increase my hours at work, as I have a special needs child who needs attention and...
  3. Once again, Debbie, thank you. That is really good to know. I do worry about being able to hear what they are saying. I've received voicemails at work that I would have to play over and over again,...
  4. Debbie, Thank you for your quick response. That was very helpful. I am wondering the best way to go as far as taking a course would be. I have looked at the local community colleges, and online...
  5. Foot care training

    Summers, Sounds great! The one thing I have been wanting to be able to do is to bill for services. I keep hitting a brick wall. I am told I cannot bill for services as a Nurse, and so my patients have...
  6. Foot care training

    The seminar is actually not until early November. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to go out and set up shop for foot care after just going to this seminar. It is more lectures than anything else....
  7. Foot care training

    I was wondering how many of us are planning on attending the Seattle conference? I am looking forward to it this year. I've gone almost every year for the past 4, but Dr. Scanlan said it would be...
  8. Foot care training

    Summers, I hate to admit that I don't really know what is in that area for hotels. I avoid the downtown area as much as possible. It's just too busy for me. However, Susan Scanlan, the Director of the...
  9. Foot care training

    Laura, Is this the same conference you attended a few years ago and did not like because it was run by Podiatrists? I was just wondering if maybe this is a different one going on in
  10. I will never forget when my baby had the most horrible diaper rash. No prescription creams/ointments were helping and it was only getting worse. I was so frustrated, and on making yet another call to...
  11. Foot care training

    Hello everyone! Ann Nelson gave me permission to post her e-mail address. She is in Ontario, Canada, and teaches foot care to nurses in the college setting, and also does private teaching. She has her...
  12. Foot care training

    Just to let everyone know, I have e-mailed what I believe to be Anne Nelson's and am waiting for a response. I will post again when I hear from her. Has anyone done a search for courses in canada?...

  14. Foot care training

    Summers, I'm not sure where the closest course might be to you. I'm in washington state and would have loved to just have been able to make a run up to Vancouver, CA. I ended up in Ontario however,...

    That's great Nightengale! I like that you were able to put all that info. on here. I've been to this seminar 3 times. I just like to keep up on the scope and laws, etc. And there's always stuff to...
  17. Foot care training

    I know there is some controversy regarding the dremel. I use a dremel because I didn't find the electric nail file I had been using strong enough. I know lots of Nurses and Podiatrists who use the...

    Summers, The link to the seattle class is http://www.wspma.org . You can find all of the information on the seminar there. It will be held November 5-6 this year. Hope this helps. Good luck!
  19. thinking my 2 y/o has lead toxicity.....

    Sorry I don't know anything on this subject, but it made me think of my little one who had to have blood draws weekly at one time. I used emla cream to numb her arm before we went in each time. She...

    Laura, Very good suggestions! Thank you. We do have a massage therapist at work which we get a discount for (if I could only find the time). We also have a PT who I could get some ideas from. Have you...
  21. Foot care training

    I was wondering if those of us who do foot care, do it full time? I have been doing it about 3x a week. My employer would like to see me do more, but I'm beginning to worry about things such as carpal...
  22. tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    Many of the nurses at an assisted living facility I used to work at have had bad reports about the EMT's when they arrive. Sometimes the nurses don't know the meds these Pts. take because they self...
  23. options in nursing?

    Working in a Doctor's office seems like it would be safe enough. Many LTC facilities have lots of support with other nurses around in the case of an emergency, and I hate to say this, but lots of...
  24. Would you assist in abortions?

    Wow, I thought my initial answer would be yes, but after all the reading of the posts I just did, now my answer is I don't know. Yikes! Partial births- No way! Repeat customers- I think I would lose...
  25. Opie, Thank you very much for the information. I went to NSCC for my LPN long ago. I am planning on checking into this. Thanks again! This is good
