Whats e better caree Echocardiogram tech or a Registered Nurse?

Either one is valuable in health care and in helping people get well. Nurses have patient lives in their hands for sure and there is great stress, but great rewards as well, and higher pay for working the same amount of time at the same place. Echo techs might have an easier day, but if one makes a mistake or misses something for the doctor to read on the echo and that makes the doctor not treat a serious condition--well, I'd call that stressful as well, and having a big hand in patents' lives. Either is a good choice. You could try classes in both and see which you like better, or call a hospital and ask if you could shadow a nurse one day and an echo tech one day in order to try to sort out your career aspirations. If you volunteer or work at the hospital so that people already know you, you'd probably get permission more easily. You could talk to both echo techs and nurses about what they like and dislike about their jobs. Good luck in either, or all you do .

RN.

I don't really understand why people ask which is better. It's an individual choice. What one person would hate, another would love.

You could be both, go for your R.N. first with specialty in Echocardiogram, obviously both interest you. Go for it!

Nurses have patient lives in their hands everyday. Echo techs take the pictures and let the cardiologist read them. No stress there. The "senior" nursing student thinks she will have time for real patient focused care. Instead she'll be running her butt off, trying to give meds, read orders, interpret test results, deal with moody doctors and chart enough to navigate around the world. You never get to spend the time with your patients that you would like. You're too busy trying to get to the next patient and trying to figure out when you'll have time to open up your charts and start the massive paperwork on all of them.

Better is what interests you the most, what makes you excited about working in that field for many years. You will have many more opportunities as an RN and a larger range of job choices with your RN/BSN.

They are both great choices. See if you can spend some time "shadowing" each one while they are working to get a feel for what a day is like. It might help you decide which you'd like better.
