An open letter to this awesome community and my fellow nurses.
Over the past few years, Sole Relief has grown more quickly than I ever expected.
The need for advanced foot care in our communities continues to increase. Our schedules are consistently full, referrals continue to come in, and the healthcare system around us is carrying an incredibly heavy workload. More and more people are relying on community-based nursing services to help fill the gaps.
That growing need is also a big part of why I chose to become a Clinical Educator.
I realized that simply working more hours myself was never going to solve the larger problem. We need more nurses trained in advanced foot care, more skilled providers in our communities, and more opportunities for nurses who are interested in building a career in this field.
Through my role as a Clinical Educator with the Advanced Foot Care Nurse Learning Institute, I now have the opportunity to support LPNs and RNs entering advanced foot care nursing, provide hands-on clinical experience, and help build the workforce our communities genuinely need.
And Sole Relief is growing our own team as well.
We are currently looking to connect with LPNs and RNs who may be interested in advanced foot care nursing, whether you already have your certification or are considering taking the training.
This work is independent, hands-on, relationship-based and incredibly needed. Our nurses work with clients in clinic and facility settings, supporting people with diabetes, vascular disease, neuropathy, mobility challenges, complex nails and other conditions that make routine foot care anything but routine.
Healthcare is stretched. The workload is heavy. I don’t believe the answer is simply asking the same nurses to keep doing more.
Part of the answer is training more of us.
If you’re an LPN or RN who has been curious about advanced foot care nursing or interested in working with Sole Relief, I would love to hear from you.

As always I cannot even begin to express my gratitude, love and awe of every single one of my clients and this community for their ongoing support.
