I do both. I was a massage therapist 1st then I went to nursing school! I LOVE what I do. I make really good money as a postpartum nurse and in my off times charge 75$ for an hour and 90$ for and hour and a half. Plus since I work for myself I keep everything I make. Which is the only way I suggest to do it. If you work for one of these companies like massage envy, you make no money! Go for it and you might want to leave case management alone! If your bored at your job and your a nurse, something is really wrong

Well I actually was (well I am) a licensed massaged therapist, now I'm also a registered nurse! Going to nursing school is nothing like going too school for massage therapy! You may find your pre req courses....ok A&P a little easier to understand and follow than some one who has not. I'm not sure if that answered your question?!? I do feel that nursing is a natural career pathway for a massage therapist, you won't feel weird about being in someones personal space.... AND YOU WILL be in those spaces

I'm assuming this is semester one of nursing. It happens. It's the moment of truth the dreaded code brown. We had a few drop at this point to.

Well the question is... With the feeling of being drained do you still truly love what you do every day? And if you don't plus you feel drained do you think your providing the best possible patient care? That's the most important thing besides the "perks". For me personally if my heart is not in it I don't think I can provide the best care. And if I can't provide the best care, it's time for me to move around to some place I can and allow another nurse who can provide that care have the opportunity at that position. But that's just me. Think of why you became a nurse
