I would like to either become a ND .. Naturopathic Doctor..which most states except a few do not require licensing yet for. Except out West. Or a Herbologist with Ayuvedic along with. I am considering going for nursing for.. as a way to learn the body.. while supporting myself through school. I may have to move where the schools are.. I live in WI.. OR.. Clayton and another on line also offer the schools. An actual ND from California.. who treats famous people in a Wellness Center.. went to Clayton on line ND program. Someone gave me a link to a US Map.. and it showed very .. few states that require NDs to be licensed . Although the education is like a degree and longer when you add on other avenues.. such as Herbology and Ayuvedic. Although.. I am most interested in Eastern Medicine.. Chinese Medicine and Hollistic Approached opposed to the AMAs.. ways and standards.. learning how the body functions and signs of problems is critical. Do you think.. Nursing first is the way to go first? I did not want to have to spend all these extra years in nursing school to then have to re start all the later.. that can take me a long…..time. but in the mean time.. I can work in Home Care Hospice..at night in order to go to school or on line. I could even work as a Nurse with some extended classes in Medical.. Esthetics and do that also. .. While training in Naturopathy .. Herobology Ayuvedic.. Which is the best way to get to where I need to be with being able to live also.
Thank You
