Nursing Schools In Oregon: Best Nursing Schools 2009

By John Roney


If you are interested in learning the specialized art of chiropractic medicine, you will find what you are looking for in Oregon chiropractic schools. Aspiring chiropractors can gain skills for gathering information from clients, for assessing information and diagnosing clients' conditions, and for treating clients with skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems problems through natural processes. Students are taught how to bring natural balance to the body to allow recuperation without administering drugs or performing invasive surgery.

Chiropractic medicine is based on the ancient principle that the body will restore and maintain health naturally, with attention to proper nutrition, water, rest, and exercise. Today's patients are looking for innovative, natural methods of achieving and maintaining healthy conditions, and nursing schools in Oregon offer professional training to fill the request for more holistic health care.

There are many professional nursing sites and periodicals where you can get detailed information about programs as well as the most recent awards in your field of interest. One such site is The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), which in November gave out Awards for Excellence in Gerontological Nursing Education.

The Oregon Health and Science University: Located at Jackson Park, Portland, the nursing school at Oregon Health and Science University, imparts knowledge to care patients along with critical thinking skills. The courses offered are Degree in Midwifery, Public Health, Family Practice and Gerontology.

Chiropractic students can expect to spend six years of study, including an internship, in order to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Additional education will be necessary for Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degrees. Passing national and state examinations is necessary for licensure. Graduates can expect to earn somewhat modest incomes early in their practices, but rapid increases are the norm. Average salaries for chiropractors in the U.S. run around $70,000; maximum incomes reportedly top $120,000.
