With all due respect to all Rad. Tech's, I sincerely believe that RN's deserve a higher pay than them for the following reasons: 1. The nature of the job of nursing where urgent decision making-process is involved right in front of the patient. 2. Nurses are more in the forefront of nursing care while rad. tech's assist as far as diagnostic procedures are concerned. 3. Nurses are always there 24 hours a day doing direct patient care whereas rad. tech's stays in their offices unless called by a unit or by a nurse.:rotfl:
