Put your best foot fashion forward with stylish new nursing clogs!

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 BY Brie

Brie-HThis Spring the trend has been all about color and we’ve got you covered head to toe with the hottest new nursing clogs and shoes around! Sanita and Dansko have really come through with some of the most fashion forward professional shoes we have seen in a long time with stylish options in multiple color palettes. Detailed prints and high polish solids add that extra pizazz without compromising comfort and quality you would expect from a high end designer shoe!

There are so many great shoes to choose from this season – here are a few of my favs:

- The #98167 Xaria from Sanita has so much going for it! These shoes POP! The color splash on the sole is subtle enough to get through dress code, but packs enough punch to add a bit if sass to your uniform. The high quality, high shine black patent leather uppers come with either red, blue, yellow, or pink colored slip resistant soles. $119.99, European sizing 36-41.

-

- It’s all about the details in this Koi by Sanita #98162 Lindsey clog. The logo buckle, flower rivets, and stapled stitching paired with the high polish patent leather give a sleek professional look. Available in high gloss patent black, white, navy, and steel – one is sure to work with your wardrobe. $129.99. European sizing 36-41.

- Dansko’s #98170 Canvas Vine prints are the perfect companion to the new Dansko scrub line! The Multi Vine print goes back to every single color in the line plus has a coordinating scrub cap! The coated canvas upper is extra durable resisting water and stains and paired with Dansko’s signature professional bottom makes a high quality high fashion shoe. $124.99. European sizing 36-41.

- The Timberland #98195 T-strap was designed with medical professionals in mind! This sophisticated style features a feminine T-strap with the Timberland patented comfort system. The high shine, pewter metallic finish adds a chic, modern edge to your uniform. $119.99. US Sizes 5.5-10, 11 medium width.

Great news from our friends at Barco’s Nightingale’s Foundation

Thursday, January 5th, 2012 BY Brie

Brie-H

We recently received a letter from Michael Donner, the president of Barco’s Nightingale’s Foundation, that outlined all of the wonderful things they were able to accomplish in 2011. We are so proud to be a supporter of this organization and the amazing work that they do and wanted to thank our customers who also contribute to the Foundations goals. Here is a recap of services were provided in 2011 – and an inspiring look towards this year’s goals!

  • The Foundation was able to help another 600 children with life changing surgeries with Resurge International.  This brings the total with Resurge to 1,000 children.  Quite a milestone of achievement in only 2 years.
  • The Foundation was able to provide housing at Ronald McDonald House Charities for 200 evenings for families in need.
  • Also able to send nearly 120 children with cancer to go to The Ronald McDonald’s Camp for Good Times.
  • The Foundation has recently partnered with Hispaniola Mountain Ministries with our first solar water well in Haiti.  This well should be competed by March 2012.  We are hopeful to build a total of 4 wells in 2012.
  • In April of 2011 was the first Nightingale’s Foundation Walk .  It was very successful with 424 attendees and raising nearly $100,000.  Another Walk is planned for April 1,2012.
  • For those not familiar with Barco’s Nightingale’s Foundation – this organization works with a mission to ” elevate and promote nursing, while also honoring the spirit of the profession by focusing our funding on helping children. Nursing has long been regarded by the general public as the most trusted and respected profession in America. There is a shortage of nurses and it is our hope that our Foundation’s efforts will appeal to the younger generations of women and men who can help avert this crisis in care. We deeply salute their work in our efforts to help the children to whom they’re most dedicated.”

    Thanks for all of your support for this wonderful organization and help in achieving a strong force in the year 2012!
