Is A Career in Foot Care Right for You??

The best part of course was the hands on training and getting to know people in the community and listening to their stories.

The hardest part of course was getting use to using all the different tools and the dexterity that is required!

Foot Canada Training was chosen since it is reputable and nationally recognized.

The biggest problem I see in New Brunswick is making foot care accessible to all those who need it.

Many people have mobility concerns, or confined to their homes, and can’t get to clinics

"I just completed the Advanced Foot Care Nurse theory course and I am writing to share my experience with Foot Canada, which has been entirely positive.

From initial contact and ongoing communication the staff were always courteous, professional and helpful. I especially appreciated the great support I received when I reached out for help.The Foot Care Nurse theory course is excellent as well!

The curriculum is comprehensive, it aligns with and emphasizes evidence-based practice and includes ample resources aligned with current best practices to support further learning and development. The course also aligns content with CAFCN’s competencies. I find the competency-based approach has been really helpful to help me prepare for the upcoming clinical course.

Overall, I found this course and the staff have really set me up for success to become a competent Advanced and Diabetic Foot Care Nurse. Thank you so much Foot Canada!!"

"Excellent course. Well thought out where one has to also think “outside the box”, as to patient care, infection prevention and control and not just foot care. They are very passionate about foot care and patient well being."

"I am a new Foot Care Nurse and have just completed my online portion of the course. The textbook was very informative and worked well with the course outline and assignments. I have learned a lot and am excited to put my knowledge to work. I would recommend this course for anyone who is looking to advance and upgrade in their career."

"I am enrolled in the Foot Canada Training - Theory program currently running. First, I must say that I am very impressed with the thoroughness of the program, it has far exceeded my expectations! This course has compelled me to examine areas of nursing that, admittedly I should have been more conscientious about, but was so caught up in the ‘clinicalness’ of, I did not devote the effort to areas like best practice, competencies, the business aspect of nursing and our relationship with FNIH....Thank you so much for your help."

- Barbara Pound RN

"I've never taken courses online and it was hard to decide to take it. I can say it was a great experience and the right decision. Everything was clear and went smoothly. Questions that I had during the course were answered in a few hours. The textbook was very helpful, had good illustrations and a glossary I will use for a long time before I become familiar with all the terms."

- Tatiana Basmanova RPN

I just wanted to send a well deserved positive personal message advising of the great training I received with Soft Soles, in Ottawa ON. 

The Instructor Michelle built a well-designed course full of theory knowledge that we were able to practice in a  clinical setting. Client talked very highly of Michelle and fellow Soft Sole workers, not only for the care they receive during their appointment, but the after-care as well (teaching, follow ups, etc).

This course was incredible and I will be highly recommending it to fellow nurses.

I am looking forward to doing my Clinical Training with Nadine and Karen at Ever New Foot Care in New Brunswick! I chose Foot Canada Training because I wanted the highest quality education so that I was safe and educated for my clients and also ensuring proper sterilization.

The most interesting thing I learned in the Online FCN Theory Course was about the different conditions of the feet.

Shannon ensured I was prepared for the clinical training prior, and that I felt comfortable throughout.

She gave me every opportunity to learn and practice my skills.

I feel very confident now that I have completed my clinical training.

Her attention to detail and approach provides a positive learning environment. 

Her rapport with her clients makes for a non-stressful experience; they trust her and her teaching, so the student is welcomed into the home! 

The questions she asks during the appointment and follow up conversations helps me to think critically... resulting in that 'AHA' moment where I can put all the pieces together!

- Nicole Campbell of Kenora Ontario

I found this course to be challenging and stretching. It was interesting and difficult putting the theory together with the practice.

I appreciated the multiple opportunities to practice on many different people with a variety of foot care needs, starting with my own feet.

As a person with performance anxiety, I found it most challenging to be monitored through each foot care opportunity. I found Shannon to be a helpful, relaxed and knowledgeable mentor, which made that process easier.
