  • Making a difference!

    Love the story of growing a foot care service on this podcast. So sad the organization doesn’t prioritize billing for the services. I’ve seen nurse- provided foot care make a difference for a family member in assisted living!! It’s a great opportunity for nurses to obtain this certification and take the skills in the direction they want their career to grow!!
