Upstate demand for RN or RRT?

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi,

I'm about to make a career change from teaching into nursing or respiratory thearpy. My ultimate goal is to return to upstate NY or maybe Vermont (I'm stuck in FL right now). I'm leaning towards RRT since it'll be faster to get the degree, but is there a need in Ny for it? If I became a nurse it would be ASN first, a BSN is too far off. I need to get back to work within 2 years.

Thanks for any insights.

I have heard that there are nursing jobs way further upstate, near Lawrence and Syrucuse the mid hudson valley appears to be posting, but not hiring. Hospitals near putnam county, and Cold spring area are looking for nurses.. So they say. Best of luck to you.
