Radiography vs. Nursing

Nurses General Nursing

Did anyone else have this dilemma? If so, why did you decide to do nursing?

I have been looking into Sonography, but passing the boards seems to be becoming increasingly difficult. From my understanding, it used to be that you had to pass 1 specialty and 1 physics to become registered. In 2009, they changed this to combine what used to be 3 separate physics registry exams into 1 comprehensive physics exam that must be passed, or no registration. I have seen posts on forums from students who graduated their program a year ago, who are still trying to pass the physics portion after 3 failed attempts.......

I'm not a 'natural' at Physics, but if I really work hard, I can get an A in a general physics course. However, I'll never be a Physics whiz, and the idea of spending time/money on a program and then sitting unemployed for a long stretch if I can't hack the boards is very intimidating......not to mention the fallout if I should never pass.......... I can't decide what to do.
