Hello,
I would like to get in contact with any nurse who is also an Acupuncturist, TCM practitioner. I was wondering where they work and if they have incorporated both together or not. Are there hospitals, clinics that use Acupuncture?
Thanks!

hm that is very interesting but I haven't heard of anything like that. Sorry. I'll keep my ears open though.

I know of an RN who retired and became an acupuncturist. Last I heard she was in a practice of her own.

I have been interested in going to school to become an acupuncturist - but the schooling is more that I can afford (and i would have to leave my school nursing job to complete it). It seems that if i ever did fulfill this dream, i'd have to start a private type practice or join one. Doesn't seem to be a big calling for any alternative healing like this in hospitals. Not saying that it couldn't happen - just saying that it'd be unusual.
