RNs went into podiatry, then went back into nursing.

That's what occurred at my college. I thought wow even nurses are fed up with ward/hospital politics and have decided to advance themselves by going into podiatry. I know of 5-8 RNs which went into podiatry, graduated, tried it out for a few years and went right back into nursing. They decided that ward politics was not so bad after all or they trained to become nurse practioners.

Sorry this is not another gloomy commentary to make myself feel better and/or to encourage the other podiatry pessimists (PPs) to write about other negativities about the podiatry profession. These things will be proven to you Stu Pod et al when you finally get out there with all your credentials and find out that the podiatry business sux. I may be wrong, and if I am (or if I'm not wrong) please post your real life private practice experiences on this forum so that the current PPs can read them.
