Something’s afoot: foot health in nursing and beyond

Foot health is tied to our overall health in many ways. The foot’s complex structure, with 26 bones and 33 joints, works to properly carry you an average of 115,000 miles in your lifetime! Given this complexity, it will come as no surprise that 75% of Americans will experience foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, hammer toes, hyperhidrosis/odor, bunions, and toenail disorders (the most common foot problem). While caring for the foot issues of the general population, most nurses will take at least 9,000 steps per shift. This session reviews how nurses can protect their feet and circulation as well as those of their patients.

When there are no more nurses… a discussion to empower nurses to build a better professional future!

Nurses always have been…and will continue to be…at the forefront of healthcare. Pandemics, increased healthcare needs, and lack of resources have resulted in serious consequences for the nursing workforce, including staff shortages, compensation inequities, unrelieved moral suffering, burnout, and collective grief. The public, and by extension healthcare leaders and organizations, may assume that nurses will continue to serve — regardless of the circumstances — believing that their commitment to patients will take precedence over their own welfare and that they will continue to fill the gaps in stressed or dysfunctional systems. Now is the time for nurses to stand tall and proud for what they contribute to the nation’s health. Join us to learn how to share the value of your professional expertise and build a better future for nursing. Learn More… In this webinar, you’ll learn: how all nurses have the opportunity to reshape the perception and image of nursing. We’ll follow the journey to where we are as a profession and what we can do about it. empowering language to help educate patients and the general public so they better understand nursing competence, knowledge, clinical judgement, and innovation. actions all nurses can take to help re-imagine nursing’s relationship with the public as a social covenant rather than a social contract.
