RN VS Invasive Cardio Tech

[DG65]

Need some feedback please. I am looking at an RN program @ Galen(45k by the time I am done) vs Invasive Tech program @ Spencerian (40K). Both are associates. I am torn because I would be thrilled to be working as a Nurse or as a RCIS. My brother thinks I should do my LPN at Galen and the pursue the RCIS.

Galen will take almost 3 years and Spencerian will take 2 years.

I am a single dad with 3 children and the LPN makes sense in that I would at least be working in the field, getting experience and I am out of school quickly.

If you have any experience with these schools or any advice I am all ears.
