“I realized there was so much more
to wound care.”
Dawn Johnson, RN, CWOCN
Wyoming, MN
Dawn Johnson came to this understanding while working as
a home health nurse in Chisago County, Minnesota, a rural
area north of Minneapolis. One of her patients was a woman
in her 90s who had a foot wound that had not healed in five
years. Using a compression technique she learned during her
Wound Ostomy and Continence certification, Dawn was able
to heal the wound, and her patient was able to remain living
independently in her own home.
Because Dawn sees so many foot wounds, she decided to
attend “Foot and Nail Care: Education for Nurses”. In addition
to her clinic practice, she also provides foot care to hospitalized patients. Healing wounds is important to Dawn – but her
real passion is prevention. With proper foot and nail care, she
hopes to help her patients avoid the need for wound care
altogether.

As our population ages and we see rising
rates of diabetes, the demand for foot and
nail care is rapidly increasing. This area of
nursing practice is often neglected in formal
nursing education, leaving a shortage of
professional providers. This program will give
you all the tools you need to begin a practice
of basic foot and nail care.
You will:
• Identify the components of a comprehensive lower extremity assessment.
• Identify selected conditions of the skin
and nails.
• Describe appropriate patient teaching
content and methods.
• Discuss issues related to foot and nail care
as an independent nursing practice.
• Demonstrate basic and intermediate
level foot and nail care in a supervised
clinical setting.

Contact Hours will be awarded by the
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Continuing
Education / UW-Extension. Participants will

In 2005 the Wound, Ostomy and Continence
Nursing Certification Board began to offer
a certification examination for foot and
nail care. Certification is an indication of an
individual’s current knowledge in a specialized area of nursing practice. It provides a
standard to assist the employer, the public,
and members of health care professions in
the assessment of practitioners. This course
qualifies you to take the certification exam.
Requirements for Participants
Proof of current licensure is required 30 days
prior to the start of the program. Participants
must be licensed RNs. LPNs may be eligible
to register if they will be providing foot and
nail care under the direct supervision of a
registered nurse, or are licensed in a state
that includes intermediate level foot and nail
care within the LPN’s scope of practice.
$725 Fee Includes:
Foot and nail care equipment kit, two
lunches, refreshments, program manual,
instruction, and supervised practice. We will
refill all of your liquid supplies at the end of
the clinical day, so you can go back home
with a full kit, ready to work!
Who Should Attend
Registered nurses who work with elderly or
disabled populations in the community or
any clinical setting.
Past participants have included:
nurse practitioners | wound and ostomy
care specialists | diabetes educators | nurses
employed in home health/hospice, parish,
corrections, tribal health, community-based

care settings | nurse entrepreneurs interested

Betty Adsit RN, Eau Claire, WI
Betty Adsit has a passion for helping others, volunteering, and working with the senior
population. After relocating to Eau Claire, Wisconsin with her husband and two children, she
wanted to take some time to find her true niche in health care – and one that would allow
more time with family and friends. Betty did some research and found the Foot and Nail Care:
Education for Nurses program. She quickly realized it would provide skills and knowledge that
would transfer to all areas of health care and set her apart professionally. While starting her
own business was never her plan, she also decided to take the Foot and Nail Care: Starting a
Business class just to develop her general business skills.
After taking both courses, Betty was encouraged, energized and ready to take the next step.
Today, she has started a small business in foot and nail care, and hopes one day to expand.
The flexibility she has with her own small business allows her to be everything she wants to
be personally and professionally.
