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!

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!!!
