2. NPs working with chiropractors

   chiro13 replied to mystcnurse's topic in NP

   Interesting discussion, I'll throw in my .02. I'm a chiropractor, but am going back to school to get RN and then ultimately on to FNP. I read a lot in the chiropractic journals and magazines etc...and there are a lot of coaching programs popping up ...

3. Chiro To FNP?

   chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   I don't know anything about a palm beach program. My current path is doing an accelerate BSN program through a college close to where I live in the Minneapolis area. It is 15 months...mostly online with clinicals once a month at their college. After...

5. Chiro To FNP?

   chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   So one of my questions was, does WGU offer an online BSN program for those that have a degree in something else? In my case DC?

7. Chiro To FNP?

   chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   Thanks...yeah I looked at UM Flint...but it says courses must be within 7 years. I graduated chiro school 11 years ago...so my courses are too dated for these guys... I'm now looking into college of st. scholastica...I have a chiro classmate who is g...

8. Chiro To FNP?

   chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   FNP would likely be a little more than my chiro. But again, stability would be nice...with chiro its up and down each month...and I'm sick of trying to figure out where my next new patient is coming from. The marketing and business side of it is gett...

9. Chiro To FNP?

   chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   Haven't thought of it... I will definitely do some searching...but yes, looking for the most direct route... Money isn't an issue...it's convenience...need something online b/c of my current situation...

10. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    Correct...they aren't a school. I think they are contracted by the schools...and help find students...so this raises the question of, how good are the schools if they need help finding students? But yes, what they told me was excelsior to get RN...a...

11. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    Yeah, when I said easy...I don't mean classroom easy. I guess I should have used the word convenient since I have a wife, 2 kids with 1 on the way...a mortgage etc etc... Not looking for a get rich quick...lol...I do okay as a chiro. Like I said, wha...

12. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    This is why I was wondering if anybody knew anything about the Mid America Learning program. It was initially created for DCs...allowing them an easier route to NP. When I last talked to them...it was initially becoming a paramedic...in 8-10 months, ...

13. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    I researched PA...again, most programs were 3 years...full-time...that's just not realistic at this point. Also, I like the fact that NP's can function independently... PA schools in my area are competitive as well. They all have 400-500 applicants.....

14. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    Wow, that's a pretty loaded question... I'm sick of the business side of chiro. It's 5% doctor....95% sales and marketing... The future is bleak. Overhead going up...reimbursement going down... On top of that, you have "The Joint" franchises opening ...

15. Chiro To FNP?

    chiro13 replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

    Yeah, I realize there will be a clinical component which I'm fine with. I only practice 3 days a week and can easily move people around...I just want the majority of it online...so I can move through it between patients...and not have to sit in some ...
