hi I am new to this site. Just need some input and hope someone can help me. I am 33yrs old just starting back at my local cc. Currently registered for their RN program-possible 2011 acceptance. My dilema is that i recently been considering radiology with eventually going into radiation therapy. I know a RN is a great field to go into (wages, stable job market, etc) but i'm afraid that RN doesnt fit with my personality. I want to go into the medical field, I want to care & make a difference in people's lives which nursing seemed the logical choice. But doing x-ray seems more like me. I live in NJ and have seen quite a few jobs out there, so i think the prospects are good. Am i making the right decision but switching??? The current CC i'm going to doesnt offer radiology-would have to commute an hour or so. How is the salary? for x-ray tech? for radiation therapists??? Im thinking of takeing the general ed course where i am now then transferring into the rad program. has anyone done this??? any advise/input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
cristi
