Can a licensed nurse legally perform foot care in my state or province?
Yes — most U.S. states and Canadian provinces permit licensed nurses (RN, LPN, LVN, RPN) to perform routine foot care within their scope of practice. The exact boundaries depend on your nursing board or college. On your consultation call, Dr. Freeman pinpoints your specific state board or provincial regulation so you operate with full compliance.
How long does it take to launch my mobile foot care practice?
Most nurses go live with their first patient visit within about 30 days of enrolling in the Big Toe Package. Your instrument kit ships within 48 hours, a launch manager maps your local market, and you begin scheduling once your compliance setup is confirmed. The Verification Pathway can move faster if your legal entity and insurance are already in place.
What exactly is included in the Big Toe Package for $4,750?
The Big Toe Package is a turnkey business and clinical setup: a complete clinical education track with 12 CE credits, a professional $500 foot care instrument kit, full U.S. or Canada business entity creation and state/provincial filing costs, your first year of professional liability insurance fully paid, a custom service website, a complete scheduling/EHR/route management platform, and fully covered CFCS national exam and application fees.
Do I need prior foot care experience to enroll?
No prior foot care specialty experience is required. The clinical curriculum starts from foundational assessment and builds to independent practice. Many of our nurses come from hospital, long-term care, or community settings and transition into mobile foot care as a new specialty or additional revenue stream alongside their current role.
How does Clipt Care handle HIPAA and PIPEDA compliance?
Clipt Care operates as a Business Associate under HIPAA in the United States and complies with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy frameworks in Canada. We collect and disclose personal and health information strictly to facilitate healthcare delivery. Our EHR charting and scheduling platform is built to support compliant documentation and recordkeeping.
Is financing available for the Big Toe Package?
Yes. Flexible financing is available for qualified applicants with a credit score of 450 or above, so you can spread out the $4,750 investment. Book a 1-on-1 consultation with Dr. Freeman for full financing instructions and to confirm which pathway fits your situation.
Are the continuing education credits recognized in both the U.S. and Canada?
The curriculum includes 12 approved continuing-education credits and prepares you for the CFCS national exam and competency review with a CFCS evaluator. Enrollment also grants lifetime access to every future clinical curriculum update so your training stays current as standards evolve.
Do I have to quit my current nursing job to do this?
No. The mobile model is designed to fit alongside an existing role. In our case studies, nurses maintain their hospital positions while building a recurring patient base part-time — for example, seeing 6–8 patients a day across roughly 4 days a month.
What is the difference between the Big Toe Package and the Clipt Verification Pathway?
The Big Toe Package ($4,750) is the full turnkey launch — business entity, insurance, website, software, kit, and exam fees are all included. The Clipt Verification Pathway ($1,999) is the clinical mastery track for independent operators who already have their legal entity, business insurance, and sites built and only need the clinical curriculum, CE credits, competency review, and tool kit.
