Lawrence, like others in the community who participated in a 3-day foot and nail care course in Carson, Nevada in August 2007, was eligible for board certification through the Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society. She successfully passed her boards in January 2008. Board certification allows for the opportunity to serve in the clinical setting, as well as being an entrepreneur and/or a parish nurse with a “hands on feet” ministry in the church or senior citizen center. The nurse works closely with the community, primary care physicians, podiatrists, wound care centers, and others serving seniors to promote comfort and prevent injury leading to wounds and amputations.
Renate Lawrence was recognized for her perseverance, passion, and phenomenal clinical skills. Foot care is an art and she is an artist. Lawrence recently attended the first foot and nail care nurse conference and retreat in San Diego, CA in May, 2009 and may be attending the First Foot and Nail Care Nurses Association Conference in Canada in April, 2010.
In the Carson/Reno area, it is estimated that 12% of the people are between the age of 65 to 85 years old. People with diabetes account for 8% of the population. (Nevada State Health Division, 2008). Damage to the nervous system causing peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication of poor blood sugar control and expected in 60-70% of the people with diabetes. Approximately 30% of people with diabetes age 40 and older have impaired sensation. Obesity which contributes to foot care problems, deformities, and pain is also epidemic in the USA.
Board certified foot and nail care nurses are the eyes and ears in the community for proactive intervention. With the promotion of comfort, appropriate referral, education on foot care, foot wear, and lower extremity compression therapy, amputation rates may be reduced by 45-85%. (http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov)
It is opportune time for nurses to take a much more active role and proactive stance in prevention of lower extremity issues. Board certification in Foot and Nail Care is a win-win-win; for the older population, the primary care and podiatrists, and the nurse.

ReplyDeleteI have had morning, uncontrollable, diarrhea And Diabetes for almost a year now. Within 5-7 minutes after I wake up every morning, I have to hurry to the bathroom before all hell breaks loose. I try to get a cup of coffee before I head in, but sometimes 10 seconds can mean the difference whether I make it or not. I can only describe it as pouring mud out of a shovel. I can't stop it. Having had a colonoscopy, the doctor says nothing is wrong. He wouldn't say that if he were in my pants. Hinted at i.b.s. and prescribed Bentyl 3 times a day, due to anxiety, being an ongoing disorder I've had for years. No help,until i got to the internet for help and i found a testimony of Lewis Hall sharing testimony of how he was cured of this virus by a herbal doctor called Dr.successful and he left his web address so i clicked on the website and Dm him for help too, behold he show me love and share my pain with by giving me the herbal medicine which i make you of he gave me step by instructions on how to apply it, when i
