This is something I posted on the radiology forum but figured I would get more response here. This has been discussed in the past but I figured I would re-visit it. As some of you may have seen, I have already posted an intro thread.
I have been doing Graphic Design for the last 12 years and have tired of it. I have always wanted to enter the Health field so now I think I will. I always wanted to give Nursing a try than found Radiology. So I started poking around and thought it would be a good fit coming from Graphic Design.
Now I am reading here that the Radiology Technologist market is flooded?? Due to lots of schools opening up recently. I was 50/50 on Radiology or Nursing before reading this.
Where I live there is a "Fast Track" BSN program for those of us who have a previous Bachelor degree. This is what I'm leaning towards since it would be only 4 semesters after pre-classes (I'm loving that!). The radiology technologist is also 4 semesters after pre-classes.
Correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like Nursing would be a better option right now, all things considered? More $, bigger demand, similar career? I could always become a Radiology Nurse. I really do love technology but I think being in Nursing I would get plenty of that.
Any advise welcome. Muchas Gracias!!
