My fellow RN's...... Why are you guys trying to convince yourselves or have the RT's convince you guys that RN's and RT's are in the same level??.....I've never heard of an RN going back to school to be an RT....However, many posters on this forum have done just the opposite..... Secondly, I have a Master's in Nursing.......and I am currently researching PhD programs in nursing......Are there RT programs out there that have Graduate Schools??.......So let's face RT's......We are all here to help the patient, not to criticize one another on what role each plays in healthcare, for we all have important roles for our patients....However, when RT's start shooting flames at my profession, I have to respond back....sometimes harsh, but only speaking the truth.....
