1. Male Chiropractor considering nursing...advice please :)

   chirodoc replied to NP/PA?'s topic in Nursing Career

   Base salary. At least that's what a normal practice pays an associate. There are ofcourse slave drivers that work a doc into the ground for 50K and expect them to be grateful. Its sad that 8 years of...

2. Male Chiropractor considering nursing...advice please :)

   chirodoc replied to NP/PA?'s topic in Nursing Career

   Chiro associate position will pay anywhere in the range of 75K-90K, at least in NYC. Private practice will bring in about 150K and up, but takes time, upfront money and lots of patience. Many chiros...

   chirodoc replied to NP/PA?'s topic in Nursing Career

   Well, I'm a chiro who went back to school for my NP. Just finished my accelerated BSN and will start the NP program in January. I didn't do it because I don't like chiropractic or because I don't make...

4. Chiropractor to FNP

   chirodoc replied to Chiro's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   And here I thought I was one of the very few who was doing this. Good to see that there are other DC's doing the NP thing. I don't see a reason to drop chiro after getting the NP. It only gives you...

5. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

   chirodoc replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   In that case, next time you go see your dentist, make sure you call him Mr. Smith. Because based on your explanation, a dentist/podiatrist/optometrist will have just as little "clinical knowledge" as...

6. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

   chirodoc replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   DC's can function as a PCP in all 50 states. I do not have to "function" or "practice" exclusively as a manipulator of the spine to use the title "Doctor". We can diagnose, but not treat most of the...

7. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

   chirodoc replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   I don't plan on misleading patients as to what kind of a Doctor I am. And it won't be in a setting when the care provided is as an RN/NP. But when in a private practice setting, as a PCP, I am well...

   chirodoc replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   Glad to see the AMA is still doing its best to keep their collective heads up their own behinds. Just as they are trying to keep PT's and DC's from using the term Doctor, they have now taken on their...

9. Here's one I'll bet you don't hear every day

   chirodoc replied to chirodoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I'm 32 and already have a very successful chiropractic practice. Med school is another 8 years of classes, exams and extremely high stress with no pay. 1st 1.5-2 years of chiro school are harder than...

    chirodoc replied to chirodoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anybody have any input on whether you think I will have to put up with more BS as a student if the people I work with/for know that I'm also a

11. Here's one I'll bet you don't hear every day

    chirodoc replied to chirodoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, considering that I'm what most hardcore chiros would call a "medipractor", I don't think I would have a problem with meds. A medipractor is someone who is looked down upon by the purists of the...

    Well, I'm sure this will get flamed by some people, but I'm hoping for mostly positive/constructive feedback. I'm a practicing DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) who is applying to accelerated BSN/FNP...
