Sanity Check Needed for Degree Plan

[biochemist]

OK -

I'd like you to comment on this plan.

I have a BS and would like to go BSN -> NP to do nutritional healing.

I feel I just need to get the clinicals and then can gwt the NP inline.

Is this a reasonable idea?

I have been looking at accelerated 2nd degree BSN. My GPA not very good, but

am very capable of solid A's now. No doubt what so ever.

So this may boil down to where to get a low cost accelerated BSN where they either have an entrance exam or aren't picky about GPA.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Most states are requiring NP to have doctorates now!!! Have you thought about doing a dietician type degree??

Might be possible. I just don't know the requirements. I have sat in on a RD presenting advice to homeless people. She brought out the standard "plate" and rubber piece of chicken.

The effect will probably be nil, since it's easier to stop at McJunkFoods than to do vegetarian cooking, etc.

There are so many obese people! Look around the waiting rooms!

A quick search lead me to here> Welcome to AHNA: FAQs

Perhaps you could find a "home" under the holistic umbrella? At a quick glance, these folks seem to have broken some ground. I wasn't aware of a separate, recognized holistic specialty, but I'm not surprised. The "whole patient" approach is central to much of the nursing educational process from day one.
