    Passed my last board exam

    I passed my last board exam for my acupuncture license.

    Dear lord I abhor board exams.

    With that said now its time to move on, get the license in March and start treating those in need.

    Thanks for the prayers, advise, etc from all those at KFO.

    and yes, there is a KFO discount on treatments.

    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    So you are now legally able to stick needles in people and get away with it?

    I will be getting my license at the end of March.

    Then I can not only poke people but ask them for money for it.

    Congrats Dale! If I may ask how hard where the board exams? How was your TCM training experience? How long did it take? Where you able to do it while working? Just curious...there's a TCM school here in San Diego...very expensive but I'd love to give it a whirl.

    The board exams are tough. I had to retake two of them as I did not pass the first time.

    My TCM training was great as I went to the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest school of TCM in the USA.

    It was a 3 year program. Some of the schools are 4.

    I was working part time and then got work study at school.

    I am in debt up to my eyeballs but this is the job for me.

    Congratulations Dale!

    Wishing you a prosperous and successful future

    Will you do a..I'm not sure of the correct term..preceptorship/post-grad experience/externship,etc. in China at some point?

    Sorry..didn't mean to give you PTSD just after passing your exams!
    As I'd imagine that more education is..at this point..the last thing you want to think about .

    Best,
    LTN

    Are you saying I was supposed to have had a license to do this stuff? Have you taken the hypocritic oath yet? All seriousness aside, congratulations. I know it must have been the longest 3 years you have ever done. But I bet it is going to be worth it. Just be careful now and don't get to horse playing and stick someone in the eye.
