RN median wage for all 50 states
So how do graduating 3 year podiatry residents compare ?
Maybe PM News can explain this to us ?

A nurse practitioner can actually treat a diabetic patient, from head to toe. RX Metformin, debride diabetic ulcerations, order labs, read chest X rays and EKGs. So why should an insurance company pay for a visit to a limited license DPM?
A nurse practitioner can do all that. So? Not many docs want to manage diabetes, CHF, HTN, etc. It’s a pain in the butt, a genuine sick-care gig. It’s baffling why pods want to do this. Yeh, reading EKGs and Chest X-rays IS important, but so is understanding the interrelationships of organ systems, thousands of intricate biochemical pathways, drug actions and interactions, MOAs, that ARE NOT taught in any P college in this galaxy. Sure pods can order blood tests, so there’s that. Heart sounds? No. OB-GYN, IM, GS, Peds, Psychiatry – the core clerkships they have for medical students… Read more »
Eddy, how can you state there is no residency shortage for MDs. There are international MDs I met who could not get residency matches.
Why the fck would someone take on yet another job to support their podiatry job?
Are you mentally ill or senile or both Danielle?
Unless they’re intellects like you they’ll eventually get a program. There are other countries that offer excellent training and the U.S. isn’t the only place where there are sick and injured people.
Do you go into medicine to get rich? Do you go into medicine to be near your family, or do you go into medicine to practice medicine and challenge that mean mother f’er, ENTROPY?!
If it’s the first two than dirty podiatry is for you but don’t you dare call yourself “DOCTOR” and say you’re “just like”.
You are correct, there are no MD residency shortages. My nephew went to St Georges med school in the Caribbean and got a residency. That’s BS propaganda put out by the Podiatry establishment. Podiatry use to lure kids into it with talk of Pod being a medical specialty, well the internet has solved that by stating the obvious. Podiatry is NOT part of the medical establishment. Pod school can teach pharm and neuro etc etc , that does not make it equivalent to MD/DO education . Pod hospital rotations are poor at best. AND>> Doing a 3 year “:residency ”… Read more »
Of course mr Chasskins spews the podiatric Propaganda regarding an md “residency shortage”…..he’s Feckless
“in today’s world why”? I get the gist Eddy, nevertheless (and thank G-d) there are still some men who do want to take on the tasks that ALWAYS ends with a loss (death! NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE is getting out of here alive). I think those tasks are more important than podiatry; Control their glucose, renal, or B.P. or control their varus!?? For SOME, the intellectual depth and challenge required IS THE REWARD. Hey, money is good. Don’t get me wrong, but I know a lot of “rich” people who are INTERNALLY miserable who smile with pearly… Read more »
Four years of college plus Seven years of Podiatry College for a limited license encouraging surgery that does not pay anymore and chasing crazy board certification in Podiatry yields a high probability that you wont succeed financially. You can throw in Wound care, sports Podiatry and all the other make believe podiatry specialties. AHHH BUT Nurse practitioner , you get a full license and plenty of opportunity to make money after only 6 years of nursing school. lets see. 11 years in becoming a DPM-Podiatrist limited license or Full license after 6 years to become a NP.
Please understand that money can come from sources outside podiatry and supplement a nursing salary. My opinion is it is important to understand that if money can come from sources outside podiatry, such monies might qualify for membership in the APMA and state societies so one can qualify for this very important membership. We need to help each other because we are brothers. Life is short and stressful. Let’s smile and help each other. Joining podiatry associations is great because we can meet new people and learn from each other. Do you trust your podiatrust? Let’s help each other during… Read more »
The advent of NP’s and PA’s has MADE PODIATRY ANACHRONISTIC and outdated. Podiatry is the horse and the PA’s and NP’s are the combustion engine. Already we see many more PA’s and NP’s than wtf’s. Soon none will be on the streets. Dirty podiatry schools and those PROFITING off them will LIE TO YOUR FACE so they can continue to make money. Podiatry has been just a business from the beginning but has honed it’s presentation so FINE that thousands of MEDICAL SCHOOL REJECTS has kept it going up until the last 10 years where the CON WAS CAUGHT ON… Read more »
So what if nurses might earn more than podiatrists. How many nurses out there are treating painful callouses areas and painful ingrown toenails. Podiatrists perform valuable services. How many nurses have the opportunity to qualify by paying money to join organizations such as the APMA and podiatric state societies? A podiatrist that has a nursing degree but has a podiatry practice that does not generate a profit might use the money from a nursing job to pay for dues to join the APMA and state societies. Once one qualifies for membership, you attend meetings can socialize, have fun, learn from… Read more »
Dr. Chaskin ………………… You are brilliant. Equally as brilliant, as your good friend, Barry Bloch.
You are both geniuses. NOT !
Danny Boy! Merry Christmas.
Opinion only.
Podiatrust,You sound like you are on ketamine therapy, very dissociative thinking
Mental health services are covered thru Medicare now.
Bars on the window and door podiatry -Chaskinitis
PROOF THAT PODIATRISTS ARE NOT BRIGHT AND MENTALLY HANDICAPPED. How’s your shoe collection Barry Block or Mr. Chaskin?
Please understand that we call all help each other by doing podiatry and that happiness for podiatry can come from sources outside podiatry and supplement a nursing salary. A person can have two jobs and help people during these stressful times. My opinion is it is important to understand that if money can come from sources outside podiatry, such monies might qualify for membership in the APMA and state societies so one can qualify for this very important membership. We need to help each other because we are brothers. Life is very short and stressful. Let’s smile and help each… Read more »
I smile every time I read one of your posts. Smiling AT you not WITH you.
What a foolish foolish foolish idea ……………… “A podiatrist that has a nursing degree but has a podiatry practice that does not generate a profit might use the money from a nursing job to pay for dues to join the APMA and state societies.” (danny boy Barry’s friend)
Hey Barry ……………… do you have any friends that have a head on their shoulders ? I highly doubt it.
Hallux Guy, thank you so much for sharing. Let us brainstorm together. Analysis of the situation is that every podiatrist might not have a nursing degree. Perhaps very few podiatrists have a nursing degree. However, a podiatrist might have an external income source that can legally be used to support a financially failing podiatry practice as well as qualifying for membership in the APMA and state societies by paying dues. This way as a member one can meet other members, vendors at meetings etc… The main advantage is a podiatrist can cut callouses and trim toenails as a DPM as… Read more »
Mr opinions-—Why are you such a centrist bore/feckless? Why not stand for something? Instead you predictably take a pc neutral overly careful scripted blather.
Podiatry is a grand con. Its a racket to med school rejects. It relies on marketing /propaganda to sell a dream-delusions.
Got a question. If there is a shortage of podiatric students and if the future of some podiatric schools are at risk, why is this important if there are NP schools, medical schools, and PA schools available. Why should monies be spent to recruit podiatric students? Can’t NP and MD’s and DO’s specialize in the foot and perform foot treatment? My opinion is I feel it is rare for an MD, NP or DO to debride a foot callous or treated an ingrown toenail. These are valulable services that are performed I feel mainly by podiatrists. My opinion is the… Read more »
It’s rare for an MD, NP or DO to sell shoes or cut hair. That’s why there are podiatrists and barbers.
If practice is failing because it doesn’t pay, why get job to support your primary job? The podiatry Titanic has sunk … RIP
