Hey there:
I'm a massage therapist who is considering going into nursing (I know that this is really a forum for nurses--thank you for indulging me...). Are there other MT's here who've entered nursing? If so, how was the transition? Do you continue to do massage? Are there advantages to being a nurse massage therapist? Any advice (from anyone in this forum) for someone holistically minded who's considering nursing? Also, any men out there (like me) who have gone this route?
I've been practicing for about three years and am about to enter an advanced training program in medical massage therapy and orthopedic massage. I was delighted to hear that there was such a thing as a Nurse Massage Therapist, which has given me some hope.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has thoughts on this. Thanks so much for your patience and your time.
