I need help in deciding if I should be a registered nurse or a massage therapist?


which is better and less stressful?

Massage therapist is less stressful but it is harder to make a living. There are a lot of them trying to find work. An RN does not have to work in a hospital, which is the most stressful place. Clinics, case management, dispensing meds in a nursing home, there are a lot of different jobs for RNs and it is a shortage occupation.

Massage Therapist is definitely less stressful.

I went to school with a woman who became a massage therapist. She's been out of work about half the time.

You would never have trouble finding work if you became an RN.

massage therapist u will be able to interact with people better trust me my freind is a massage thereapist and also hey if your good enopugh u can also massage movie stars or athlets.

Check your job market. Where I live, massage therapists have a hard time getting work. There is a nursing shortage. Nurses probably have more stress, but make more. So where do you live and what are your values?
