anyone switched from Radiology to nursing

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I was wondering if any of you nurses were previously rad techs and why you decided to switch into nursing. How do the two fields compare? advantages? disadvantages?

I am graduating in Jan with a degree in Nuc med. There are not many jobs and while I do like some aspects of the job, I find it somewhat boring. I really like the patient care aspect and starting IV's. Prior to pursing this degree, I was considering nursing but didn't think I had the stomach for it.

If I had known how dismal the job prospects would be upon graduation, I may have reconsidered my career decision.

I would like to hear from anyone who has switched to nursing.

Thanks\

Monica
