How is an ingrown toenail treated?
This common complaint requires a set of knowledge and skills to assess and treat the problem as well as address the whole patient.
When you have a patient who complains of an involuted or ingrown nail, the first thing you do is assess the problem. When you have the ability to assess your patient effectively you can determine the best treatment plan. With experience you can offer them treatment options as well as infection prevention and care.
You need to be able to know when to pack and when to brace, which tool to use, and how to do so effectively.
Your patients need you to be confident that you are providing the best and most effective care with the absolute minimal amount of discomfort and optimal outcome.

Hi, I'm Michelle De Grandmont: RPN, Foot Care Nurse Educator.
I'm a bilingual registered nurse. I have taken advanced diabetic foot care nurse training. My work experience includes over 15 years of experience in gerontology, acute care medicine, diabetes, and holistic healing modalities. I was an educator at Algonquin College, where I developed an innovative and highly successful advanced diabetic foot care program. With the closing of the Algonquin program in 2018, Foot Canada Training partnered with me to lead their Ottawa Foot Care Nurse Clinical courses and advanced skills workshops.
In 2021, I became the Assistant Director of Nursing and am eagerly looking forward to impacting nursing education and curriculum standards. I'm a frequent motivational speaker on best practice adherence in nursing foot care and I work hard to keep the best practices in the community and advancing foot care nursing as a specialty. I'm an advisor for The Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses, where I've worked on the development of the National Foot Care Nurse Competencies Document and The Education Initiative.
I'm looking forward to connecting with you!
