What should I go for in school nursing or pedatric doctor?

I'm an 8 month pregnant mother of a seven year old boy and five year old girl. I'm 27 years old and engaged to be married to my son's father who is an engineer. We've been together for a little over 8 years and he is supportive of anything I want to do.

Why not combine the two? A peds nurse. You can get your RN and go for a specialty like ultrasound tech (it's a simple 1yr degree after nursing school) and you can make up to $30.00/hour. My Mom was a peds nurse (LPN) for 17 years before she got her Ultrasound certificate. She went from making $15.00/hr to $27.00/literally overnight. That was 10 years ago. It may be more than $30.00/hr now. The advantage to being a nurse rather than a Dr. is that a nurse is pretty much freelance. If she is good enough, she can work in private practice, hospitals, medflight, etc. and not have to worry about all of the "headaches" of a doctor's internship etc. (Nurses generally intern where they work, so they get max benefits quicker). They don't have to open an office, pay salaries, carry insurance etc. You can even be a nurse practicioner with very little additional training from an RN. I live in a rural community where just about every town has at least one Nurse Pract. You can check out the bureau of Labor statistics website (www.bls.gov) to check out how much each career pays in your area for however much education you want to achieve. Good Luck and God Bless!

Nursing. High demand for in-school nurses.

Pedatric doctor will pay more. however they are both excellent career choices. myself I am going to school to be a labor & delivery nurse. Its what personally fits you better!

doctor they make more money

Gerriatric Nursing and gerriatric Doc. is few and far between and with the growing number of Elderly .... They are Desperately NEEDED.

Well O dont know how to say this But no one is going to be able to answer your Question.
Both Fields have there up and downs. One might make more money but less hassel and so on and so on.
It all depends on you what you want to do.
How will you feel about your job. What will make you happy.
There are several people out there that work a job for money and hate it.
( My cousin is a Teacher They should make good money And they Dont But she Loves it)
Why Take a job that your gonna hate in the long run. All that will lead too is bringin work home with you and being mad.
Find a job your happy with one that you feel your best for and will work in the long run.
To get a job only Because of money, Well in the long run you might have alot of money but you will end up a angry and sad person.
Also Make a clear choice on what you want. Both fields Thats someones life. So make the correct choice and dont be scared to go for what you want either.
Goodluck On your goals
