Hi, I have my prereqs done, now I'm just deciding between going to nursing school, radiology, or diagnostic sonography? Nursing appeals to me because I think there would more opportunities in terms of getting to pick my own hours. The other fields appeal to me because I think they would less stressful than nursing, and I heard that agency nurses get treated pretty badly by the staff nurses. (I'd want to be an agency nurse).
Other than that, are the wages for nursing, Radiology Tech, and ultrasound techs the same? Because I'm not seeing that much difference in salary (managerial and speciality areas aside) according to the job search sites. BTW, I know you're not supposed to look at salary, but truthfully I can see myself in all three fields, so the only factors left for me are salary and flexiblity of schedules. Oh, and I also want to join up with a travel agency, but from what I told out of state travel assignments are hard to come by for RT and UT these days. Any additional info from people with firsthand knowledge would be apprecitiated.
