About

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.

I have to admit that I was a little overwhelmed when I first looked into being a foot care nurse. That is why as an educator with 11+ years experience teaching foot care, I include so much in my programs. When you train with me, I want you to be completely comfortable going out and starting your practice. For me, it's one of the most instantly gratifying ways to nurse - people hobble in and dance out!

I want to help you fall in love with nursing again, and I know that becoming a Foot Care Nurse will do just that.
