I have a new job at the hospital Ive been working at and Im going to be on my feet for 12 hrs a day. I imagine my feet are going to be hurting by the end of my shift. Other than buying a good pair of comfortable shoes, does anyone have any other ideas or advice on how to keep the pain to a minimum?

Dansko and Clarks! My boyfriend swears by them when he's in surgery for hours. I used to waitress and I got the saftey step shoes from payless and had custom made insoles put in, and I could go all day with out pain. You will get used to it. There are also special crocks for nurses.

The insoles WORK!! they are about 20$, but worth it. Also be sure to put feet up for awhile when you get home:)

Soaking your feet with salts (go to a drug store and ask about it). Also Mary Kay has some great products that make your feet feel great. www.marykay.com/eschmit

Try and find a Tempurpedic insole. Will definitely take the "shock factor" out of the day.

Take some tylenol or advil for just the 1st week to help with sweling sone you will get used to it. becasue taking something on a daily basis is not recommended either
