Information covered:

Many of our clients have bunions, hammertoes, plantar calluses, etc.
There are many retail pads and insoles to help them. But they can be expensive and hard to find. And do they really fit exactly the way your client needs them to? We'll explain the options and watch demonstrations on pads and custom insoles that you can make yourself from scratch in just a few minutes!!

Virtual Meetings & CE Programs!!

Because we are all locked at home now...  let's use the time productively!!

We have started virtual (on-line) events.  We began a few weeks ago and attendance has grown to over 200 participants for each event!  

These are all free.  We will be holding them every two weeks for the foreseeable future.  We will email links to everyone on our Foot Care Nurse contact list.  If you're not receiving those email invitations, we will post them on the AFCNA.org homepage.  You can use those links to register.  After your first attendance, you will be included on the list to receive email invitations.  You can always "Unsubscribe" if you wish to stop receiving them.  But why would you?!  We have fun and we're learning a lot!!!

Take care and stay safe!

We've completed our work on Malpractice Insurance options specific for us.  We'll be posting that information soon.

We're collecting scope of practice information from State Nursing Boards around the country. We're also looking for any Boards that have issued policies or statements specifically about Foot Care Nursing.  If you have any information to add to the project, please let us know!

Lots more happening soon!!!  Until then ...  Keep Clipping!!

May 25, 2015

We're busy here!  Our biggest projects are arranging for specialty malpractice insurance for self employed foot care nurses.  

Our second project is putting together a series of educational webinars.  Our members are spread out all over the country (Plus Canada & Australia!).  It's hard to get together for a conference so we thought webinars might be the answer.  We're shooting for the end of June.  You'll get an email with the details one the program is in place.  

Until then ..... Keep Clipping!!!

We want to start having local meetings.  Are you in an area with other foot care nurses?  Let me know and I will help you arrange a regular meeting program.  We are starting in Seattle and Portland next month.  So if you are in those areas, contact me to be included in the invitation list.


I'm currently working with several nursing malpractice carriers to get us a good policy at a fair price.  Keep watching for updates!!Together we can make a bigger difference!

Together we can make a bigger difference!


January 15, 2015

We've reached a milestone! As of this morning...
  We have 406 Members!!

The members are in the US, Canada and Australia. This is absolutely AMAZING!

Our next step is to be in better contact with each other. We have several new ways to do that.

1.)  Our new blog is at www.footcarenursing.com.

2.)  A new page on this Association website is "Members Experiences." It's a place for you to post stories about building your business, providing patient care, suggestions on resources. We all need to work together. So post your stories for all to learn from.

3.) Were also going to begin regional meetings now. We will begin in the Seattle and Portland area since that is our highest density of footcare nurses. But we want to start them across the country. So if you're in an area with a number of nurses, email me and let's discuss starting a monthly meeting in your area.

We're definitely off and running for the new year!


January 2, 2015!!!

Christmas week!!
This is a great time to offer foot care to those in need.  Check with your local church, shelter, or homeless encampment.  You still need malpractice insurance and you need to chart your care.  But there's no greater gift than pain free walking and a little pampering!!!  Merry Christmas!!


December 10, 2014

Happy Holidays!!!
I've posted new info on the blog/forum.  Check it out and add your comments.
