Re: Holistic RN or chiropractic?

Hi! That's a big decision that you will want to thoroughly consider. To my knowledge, there are Holistic Nurse Practitioners. You would need to become a R.N. and then go on to pursue an advanced degree as an NP. I'm not sure if this is the only avenue. I'm currently looking into this career path. There was an article on a holistic N.P. on nurse.com .
I would suggest weighing what you will be doing with each job, where you will be working, etc. There are a few chiropractic/massage therapy/nutritional counseling offices in my area. Maybe research the career outlooks of both.
Are you an entrepreneurial person?
Whatever you decide, I believe that if you are creative and flexible, you will find a way to practice whatever specialty you go into.

Re: Holistic RN or chiropractic?

Again, let me discourage anyone from pursuing a career without fiscal reasoning. Getting a $100K+ education for a career that may net you from $35K to $1M is not sound. Look at the probabilities of your career NOT the possibilities. Anyone can win the lottery but don't balance your checkbook by it. A nurse practitioner can practically do anything a D.C. is licensed to do and have more sound basis for doing it. How you practice, holitistically or not, is strictly up to you and no "schooling" will really change that. Chiropractors are no more "holistic" than medical doctors just b/c they decide to do something to the body from the outside rather than the inside. It makes little sense.

Nursing is a growing profession-stick to it.
