I just noticed it is an old post hence the quackery and not backed in science issue. We now have CAM/IM in the national institutes of health and incorporated in over 30 medical schools including John's Hopkins as well as the Mayo Clinic. And NDs are now recognized as physicians and a few states. I hope you found your path 11 years ago ??

I work both as a triage nurse for an addiction company and as a developmental disabilities nurse. We delegate assisting with medication administration to non medical staff but I am on call and other nurses for PRNs, med extensions, and incidents. Heck, even the MDs and NPs have delegated med refills and certain med protocols to the RNs too.

I started my DNP/FNP program at 38 and will be done at 41/42 years. I already have a masters in nursing but 15 years ago so it's been a while. I don't think 45 is too old. Better now than never
