I'm looking at either Baylor or a TCU accelerated program

I'm a practicing DC looking to get my BSN then onto NP. Can those of you who have obtained your BSN and are working tell me your experiences. Are you still planning to practice chiropractic once a NP? What was the attitude if other doctors and nurses toward you? I love treating musculoskeletal conditions and have great results but I want more. I have a strong interest in acute care and orthopedics. I have strong sports rehab practice now. Thanks!

I have checked with the state boards I am allowed to have a dual license however there are technicalities with billing and prescribing. I need to get this info in writing before I start the process. Thanks for the post.

Yes, I have looked at other threads. They seem to be dated back to 08 and I would assume a lot has changed in both industries since so I looking for current experiences to date. I believe as far as billing goes I can't wear two hats at once and bill codes under both scopes but I could be wrong. I am really looking to work in surgical/medical setting part time and practice part time. Not sure how that would balance and the logistics of it all. Thank you for response. Are you a NP?

I am looking for advice on those of you who are licensed chiropractors and continued on to obtain a nursing license. I am looking to become an NP in the future and want to hear your stories and experiences. I want to see more cases and have a strong interest in surgery, orthopedics, and acute care. I want a broader scope. I love musculoskeletal but find my self wanting more. I do a lot of PT and rehab now with extremities and thinking of becoming a NP. Has anyone been able to integrate the fields and have the best of both worlds? What kind of nurse are you? How was school in regards to clinicals? And before you ask or comment...no I'm not anti medical or medicine, I don't cute cancer diabetes or attempt to. There is a place for both and I want be in both worlds. If there's a musculoskeletal issue I feel right at home treating it but I want stronger diagnostic skills outside of this. If anyone has advice on this please share your experience and advice with me. Thanks!
