Should I keep surgical technology as my major or should I switch to nursing. which is better?

It really depends on your preference. Nursing will allow you a wider range of options as you can be a nurse in the OR, intensive care units, regular floors, ERs, or you can practice in schools or physician offices or clinics. With the nursing degree, you can also get further education and become a nurse practitioner (NP) or can work on critical care transport ambulances (MICN).

surgical tech., it's better because it pays more... but i hope you have a strong stomach.

It should be based on your preference. Either is good but I would lean towards surgical technology as less mundane.

What ever you are happy at?

be aware that India is going to ship over boatloads of trained medical professionals, particularly nurses, to take these jobs.

The first class graduates are hitting our shores now. Be aware of this trend before selecting a major as you don't want to do all that hard work just to compete with 3rd world wages.

I consider surg tech a nurse, just without the RN after you rname, I'm in school for medical assistant, I did want to be an RN but I looked at the schedule etc. Just wasn't good for my family right now, I'll still be in the nursing field, but only have to work mon-fri, no weekends, 8 hour shifts...at least until all my children are in school, then I would maybe think about going to for RN. anything in the health field is in need right now. Go for what you think you would like to do as a life career, not for what others think is better.

Nursing,hands down.You'll NEVER be unemployed.

I would say nursing. You can do so many more things with that. RN's of course make more money than LPN's so I recommend getting that right away. You have different areas that you can go into with nursing where surgical tech is the same thing over and over again. Both are good careers and is ultimitly your decision....good luck with the choice.

Isn't it that Surgical Technology is a technical profession and Nursing is a bachelor's degree? Anyhow, you should go for what you wanted the most. Nurses get paid more than surgical technologist.
