THE BEST SHOES FOR NURSES – WOMEN’S HEALTH
I worked summers as a Candy Striper (yes…striper) when I was in high school, and I remember that while we were allowed to wear Bobbie socks and Ked’s sneakers, the nurses were required to wear white stockings and hard, white leather shoes…with heels! ?The Best Shoes For Nurses | Women’s Health

I’m going to go where my patients tell me to go and this week they told me to go to ground. Ground Zero of the human body is the feet. And those dogs took a beating this week. My patients showed up with fractures, cuts, infections, deformities, nerve damage, stress reactions and my pet project…plantar fasciitis; the disease I want to eradicate in my life time. I’m making headway with my own patients and with the world. Already about 1000 people have…
