Hi guys

My cousin were offered entry into B. Nursing and B. Medical Laboratory Science, and kind of ambivalent between the two. Her first choice was Med Lab, but she also wants to consider nursing because it leads to a stable job and good pay. However, I told her to shadow both and think carefully before she makes any decision. She had me log into this forum for a few questions:

1. What are pros and cons of both fields?

2. Which one offers better pay and work conditions?

3. Which one shows a sustainable growth and high demand in the future?

4. Which one is less stressful so that she can have a good mood for her family after work?

P/s: I advised her to study what she likes most. Her response was that she wouldn't have any problems with nursing and med lab science, so she can handle either one.
