WHAT MAKES A FOOT CARE NURSE
BETTER THAN SPA WORKERS AND
NAIL TECHNICIANS?
 They have the degree and education to offer top-notch foot care services. They are
actually registered nurses, personal support workers, or licensed practical nurses who
choose to specialize in foot care. What it also means is that if you if you opt for personal
support workers, you will receive basic foot care help. However, you will receive
advanced foot care when you opt for registered nurses or licensed practical nurses.
 They have the right type of training under their belt. In most cases, foot care nurses are
certified by the provincial nursing college and come with a Certificate of Competence.
You are going to get quality assistance because these nurses may have also completed
special courses related to foot care.
 They can take care of you and your loved one who may not be in a position to handle
their routine life tasks on their own. Some patients are at a greater risk of developing
foot related problems. A foot care nurse can be of great assistance here. A spa treatment
is not going to make any difference in this situation. A foot care nurse will take care of
the patient and report any medical issue they may find while offering foot care. The
information can then help you look for additional services or opt for follow-up care.
 They are trained as a medical professional, which makes them better than spa workers
and nail technicians. It is worth mentioning that nail technicians may also have years of
training, but they cannot be termed as registered nurses because they do not have any
information about the medical aspect of different foot related problems. Similarly, spa
workers cannot offer medical help. Foot care nurses can offer foot care help and also
teach the client ways to prevent certain foot related problems.
