Any suggestions for a good nursing shoe that is not too expensive? The ADN program that I am starting in the fall requires us to have "nursing shoes" not "tennis shoes". Anything that looks like a tennis shoe is not acceptable. I was thinking of trying "Nursemates".

Try the link on the allnurses.com homepage and click under Commercial Business on Apparel. Sometimes you can find good deals online.Hope this helps!Heather
