Hi yall, I practiced chiro for five years before going back to nursing school. Im in a direct entry MSN program...the first phase gets you the RN and then you complete the MSN online. The main advice I would give chiros interested in this path is this: do not focus on the end goal of having an np...integrating practice etc at first. Nursing requires a very different thought process (some might say its truely more holistic in thought than chiropractic...) that will be a major shift for you. Embrace it...and look towards gaining experience in nursing at the RN level. Let those experiences direct your career path and your next steps. Although Im a bit stressy as I watch my savings go down while im in school:), I think this has been one of the best decisions of my life. Mostly because nursing is universal and you truely feel like your options are limitless with enough work experience and direction.

jcf, ru male or female? How old are you etc? Maybe we should chat about rooming... I wonder if there will be some sort of meet and greet that happens prior to the orientation so that we can meet people and find roomates....

I got ur pm...but sent email too....

David...sent u a pm

Yes, I live in Charlotte, and will definitely be attending. I have a home here, so total relocation isn't possible, but I am looking at options for very low cost housing during the week, since I would return home most every weekend. Some rentals in the area are very very cheap... Have you guys recieved any additional information from them yet? I'm wondering what our schedule will initially be like.... Congrats JCF...glad you made it....

Very cool...where in NC do you live now? Will you need to relocate there?

Found out I was accepted to ECU's AE MSN program beginning in August. Has anyone else who is accepted want to open a discussion about moving, housing, the program etc?

I just got my acceptance letter today!

I know...though im ok with that or anp...

The pa route will get you right to the finish line faster. I like the options that exist in the ae-msn program... Ru going to the ecu pa program?

CooL...congrats on the pa school! Im in charlotte, so even if mine got mailed the same day as yours, i would probably not get it today. Now ill be sweating:)

Also where ru going?

Not that i know of but i havnt gotten my mail...where do you live?

I know...the suspense is killing me too! When did you interview?
