Sharon is a Wingham native and graduated in 1981 from the Registered Nursing Assistant Program at the Wingham and District Hospital. Sharon has practiced nursing in Wingham, London, and Stratford areas since that time. She has completed several continuing education courses and specialized training courses over the years to enhance her nursing education.
Sharon has worked in various acute hospital and long-term care nursing settings over the past 40 years both rurally and in the city. Over those years she has collected a vast amount of nursing knowledge that she shares with newly graduated nurses on a regular basis. She continues to learn and develop her skills within the medical field. Sharon also has vast experience working with people with mental, physical, and developmental challenges. She has a passion for providing care to these populations taking into account their individual needs.
Sharon recently retired from her full time Registered Practical Nurse position within the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance. As an experienced RPN Sharon developed an interest in the need for footcare in the community. She was seeing patients coming into hospital with severe nail issues as well as other foot ailments. At times patient’s nails were so neglected and long that staff would call in a doctor that had special training and proper tools to complete footcare on the patient. Sharon discussed possible long-term, outpatient care for these patients’ feet and discovered that options were limited in the area. It became clear that there was certainly an unmet need in various communities for footcare nurses to help deal with this ongoing problem. Consequently, she made the decision to become a foot care nurse.
In preparation to open her own nursing footcare business Sharon completed the Basic, Advanced, and Diabetic footcare nursing education certificate courses at the Footcare Academy in Pickering Ontario. She has also completed both the Level One and Level Two courses with the Art and Science of Burring, a division of Feet First Footcare inc., with Krisztine Grad RN and foot care nurse educator. Furthermore, Sharon has participated in a Mentorship Program with the Aldershot Foot Care Clinic in Burlington Ontario.
In her spare time Sharon enjoys gardening, reading, and swimming. Sharon is also an avid fan of theatre, baseball, and hockey. Her favourite pastime however is found spending time with her family. Sharon particularly enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and playing with her dog.
