FCN Clinical Training:
Doing this training with Longevity is unique because you are paired with an experienced nurse for one-on-one training in a variety of foot care settings. You could find yourself in long-term care, out in the community, or volunteering at the homeless shelter. (Or all 3!) We will provide hands-on sterilization and disinfection training.
As a supplier, we are well equipped to coach you through start-up requirements and costs and help you put together a package that both meets your needs and budget. Best of all you will have our ongoing support as you get your new career off the ground. We will be the beginning of a new network of colleagues you will take forward into the interesting and fulfilling career in Podiatric Nursing.
Here is a summary of the program:
- Online Theory Course through Foot Canada Training. You complete this at your own pace but must complete before your clinical dates.
- Live Classes with Chrystal Online. These are run on rotation every second month except for July and August.
- Clinical Training dates. 4 days of one-on-one training with Chrystal (me). These can be booked 4 in a row or split up in any way that works best for you. I am very accommodating for my out-of-town students.
- Private Facebook Group. This group is for Longevity students only and is a resource hub for useful files/ documents, updates in the profession, supplemental educational resources. It is also where I post class schedules. Once registered fully you will have permanent access to the group and ongoing support.
