Plan B

I wrote a few posts back about the Nurse Practitioner program filling up before my application was sent out. Well, I have started plan B!

My long term goals have been to use my N.P. degree combined with naturopathic medicine and open my own clinic. In the last year, I have come to appreciate eastern medicine and its naturopathic remedies. During our infertility treatments, my body became "not my own" and I felt so "not mardi" anymore. I had put on weight, had hot flashes, and felt moody and extremely fatigued often. I eventually went to see my Chiropractor who is also a Naturopathic Doc. She has helped me in ways I never thought possible. I see her once a week for accupuncture and take two supplements that have helped to get my body back into balance again. I feel like myself again.

So, I talked with her yesterday and told her of my plans. She recommended this book to me to get started on learning about naturopathic medicine. I'm really excited. I plan to use the next year until I start my N.P. program in Aug. 2008, studying natural medicine and hope to take a few classes on acupuncture as well.

Just thought I would let you in on my next steps!
