It’s no question that Renate Lawrence RN, CFCN of Reno, NV deserves to be honored with the first Taylor’D Health Foot and Nail Care Nurse Award for her proactive and compassionate approach to foot and nail care. This field in nursing is just now being recognized. The needs are evident and the steps for nurses to be credentialed are defined. Communities with an older population, those with diabetes and or lower extremity arterial disease are very high risk for injury and amputation are in dire need of proactive foot care. With the baby boomers reaching their 6th, 7th, and 8th decade of life, the demographics of the USA are changing drastically.

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.
