I am an RRT and a RN. I use to work full time as a RT and prn as a nurse. Then I flipped it. I have a great advantage with the knowledge of 2 degrees. I find myself doing both jobs at the same time and it is not uncommon to do so. I work in a 25 bed hosptial (Acute Access) and as a RN or a RT, you will do a lot of everything. I appreciate it. Either way, the education is valuble.
