A Nurse Who Saw a Need and Answered It
Jamie Giles is a Registered Nurse licensed in South Carolina (License #242239, valid through April 2028) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama. Her nursing career spans ICU care, emergency nursing, hospice case management, home health, and travel nursing across multiple states.
Throughout her years working as a hospice case manager and home health nurse, Jamie visited patient after patient in their homes — and noticed something that bothered her deeply: many of her clients, particularly elderly and homebound patients, had severely neglected toenails. Not from carelessness, but from impossibility. They couldn't bend down. They couldn't see their feet. They couldn't get to a salon.
For diabetic patients especially, this wasn't just uncomfortable — it was dangerous. An untreated ingrown toenail or unnoticed wound on a diabetic foot can escalate to serious infection or worse.
"I kept thinking — someone needs to fix this. These people deserve safe, dignified foot care, right where they are."
That realization became The Nail Nurse LLC. Jamie combined her clinical nursing expertise with specialized nail care training to create a service that puts medically informed foot hygiene within reach of those who need it most.
