Is Nursing better than radiology technology??


If any of you had experience working as a nurse or radiology, pls tell me if it is a hard job/school. Im seriousely confused. thanks!

I am a rad. tech.
It all depends on your interests.
Nursing takes on alot of responsibility because you are giving medications and taking care of patients 24/7.
If you are sqeamish, nursing probably isn't for you.
Working as a rad tech, we get people who have accidents on the floor, who vomit, who are bleeding. But nurses deal with alot more of that.
Radiology is a very interesting field. You get to see new things every day.

As far as school, both are difficult. You have to know all anatomy, you have to know a good deal of pathology, with nursing you'll need to know some pharmacy, with radiology you have to learn alot of radiation physics and biology.
