    Would anybody advise if it is a better idea to take the FHP course before embarking on the Dip!oma course?

    Stick with Nursing and do the FHP , build up a side business. If your working private, FHP are almost allowed to do the same level of practice as pods , minus prescribing certain medications and nail surgery. prescribing is more NHS based anyway and even then seems a bit much for a Newley qualified B5 to be prescribing medications , that's what DRs are for or at least nurses and clinicians with yrs of experience who hold the prescriber qualification.

    Administering local anaesthetics and undertaking nail surgery; yeah is a interesting procedure however a bonus, from my experience most private podiatrists income is coming from basic foot care.. ps a staff Nurse failed my course in a clinical exam , nobody is safe!

    how long will it take to make up about 30-40k of student debt and 100k of lost Nursing salary doing a 3 yrs degree which requires significant studying.
