Does anyone out there practice massage as an RN and in a medical facility? How did you get started? Do you recommend it? I am a massage therapist. I have an IL RN license, but have not nursed in 12 yrs. Looking into the reentry in GA.

I am a massage therapist. I hold my RN license in IL but have not practiced in 12 yrs. I am currently looking into re-entry but in a different state (GA). Massage therapy can help you relax (swedish) but if you are looking for a treatment, you need to find someone who is certified in Neuromuscular massage. With this massage, you will have attachment sites treated along with the belly of the muscle. Please ask for their credentials. Idealy, they should have graduated from an AMTA recommended school and have taken and passed the National Certification Test. Not all states require the NCT. Some places of businesses dont even have a massage therapist that is certified. ASK, ASK, ASK. **Since I am interested in both fields, does anyone out there practice massage as an RN and in a medical facility? How did you get started? Do you recommend it?
