Hi Tracey,
I'm currently working at the nursing home for more than two yrs now and in my first year of Bachelor of Nursing. Mostly all the nurses or carers that I worked with uses Portland rocker shoes and it works for me too.Working in the nursing home, you're always at your feet all the time and you need a good shoes that worth a cent. I strongly recommended Portland Rocker or any Rocker shoes..you can buy it at the Willams shoes store.
Good luck to your placement soon and enjoy it!
