LVN or RT for career choice.Confused

[mynameizjim]

Hi im confused which program im going to take the thing is my parents wants me to become an lvn because there are lots of jobs out there if I become an LVN.Then my other friends told me to become RT because they said it's a lot better than an lvn.Is it true?I am a people's person and I believe both program would be nice since they both interact a lot with patients and people.

The thing is I really want to work in a Hospital and I've heard that lvn are getting phased out in the hospitals etc etc.unlike if i take RT I'll definitely work in a hospital.

My friend is a D.O.N. in a nursing home and she told me she would give me a job right away but im not sure if I want to work in a Nursing Home.

PLs help me which the better one for me.I have a great personality and I Believe I would want a lot of interaction with ppl.

in my area, rrts do very well. they make as much and sometimes more than the rn's, get great schedules and can specialize.

like for instance, last week one of our hospitals wanted a rrt to specialize in their nicu. they wanted them to work fri & sat nights, 12hr shifts and they were going to pay them as ft employees (38k/yr).

both are in demand, challenging, rewarding, exciting and they can go wherever you decide to take them. follow your heart and good luck!

Thanks for your help august snow.yes I do know that both are in-demand right now and both would be a good career choice for me.I have 2 weeks to really think about my career because I will be doing my paperworks in 2 weeks and after that there is no turning back.

Thanks
