Nursing

Very good question, at the right time. I only wanted to write about the options available for Dentists in all perspectives, without making the BDS education go waste. There are options to shift your field entirely too. - If you want to continue clinical side, you can do MS or continue with BDS. If you do MS in non-clinicals (O. Path, Ph.D. you can go for research pertainting to Dentistry too. You have many fellowship courses also available (only to gain skills and clinical experience, but they are not DCI recognised). You have fellowships in forensic odontology too (practically of no use in India). You can try for posts in Dental colleges, PHC's. Now, if you want to explore other options outside Dentistry, you can try in the:
-insurance sector. -Pharmaceuticals sector. -Health care management
-MPH
-clinical research and trials
-marketing
-research.

Speaking frankly, BDS is a degree equal to MBBS because MBBS deals with the whole body and BDS deals with the head and neck, a BDS becomes a surgeon after completing his /her BDS degree but an MBBS cannot. An MS doctor is nothing less than an MD. People sometimes compare BDS with B.A. MS BPT is homeopathic, but the fact is there is a big differences between them. Now coming to your question, yes that fact in India people doesn't know how to show respect to a doctor they treat them as Labour or something
Bds has a greater scope in foreign countries with huge amount of income but Indian market value is little less but if you good with your hands then no one can stop you. BDS has different branches like
Pedodontics, Periodontics, endo, ortho, oral maxiofacial surgeon, oral pathology, prosthodontics, public health and dentistry you can easily do MS in any of them, yes NEET MS exam you will have to crack or AIIMS also provide MS degrees.
Hope it helps.

It depends on your Interest.
Ayurveda:
Ayurveda is one of the best system of medicines but has it's own limitations while treating acute illness. Drawbacks: Indecent B.A. MS ( not all but many) are working as assistant to MBBS Doctors and earn side money and spoil the system. Lifelong they are treated as 2nd class doctors by Modern medicine folks. Salary is very limited unless you are established.
Nursing:
it is directly proportional to your talent. Nursing gives an opportunity to work all around the world and if you want to practice, the opportunities are unlimited. Drawbacks are current unemployment of 2nd class ( just pass or undetermined) Nurses. If you are truly dedicated to uphold the traditional Indian system of medicine then go ahead with B.A. M.S. If you are really a caring person with above average intelligence and aspirations go ahead with Nursing.
