Should i be a teacher or a RN?

Question

well i love to help people in both ways but i also like children and i feel like i can relate to them more often but as for bein an RN i just crazy about health but im not sure someone help meeeee!

Answer 1

I WOULD BE A TEACHER!! how about both  could have a part time job!

Answer 2

Both jobs require a lot of work, time and dedication. But of course RN's get paid more. So if it is pay that is more important to you, I would go for nurse. But if pay doesn't really matter and you love children then I would be a teacher or like someone else said you could be a school nurse.

Answer 3

I think teaching is a very hard profession.  I would assume that many teachers start their careers with thoughts of making positive impacts in children's lives and end up bitter, frustrated and disillusioned.  

Being an RN you do have to work longer hours and the work is probably just as emotionally draining/rewarding as teaching but there is probably more flexibility in the career.

You could get your RN and specialize in pediatrics.  That way you could work in health, with children and believe it or not. a large part of nursing is actually teaching!   So you could get it all be being an RN.

Answer 4

RNs get paid more! lol.

Answer 5

Your the only one that can really decide!! (but if it were me definately a teacher)    ; ) good luck!!

Answer 6

As you say you love teaching and help people hanging b/w the two  !

My suggestion is learn to be a teaching Nurse like I am a teaching Pharmacist in a college in India

Answer 7

"...i just crazy about health" perhaps you would not be that much of a help as a teacher. I recommend becoming a nurse.

Answer 8

RN's get paid more and are in high demand.  But the hours are tougher than a Teacher's.  

Of course...Teachers get summers off !

Answer 9

You should get a job as the school nurse!

Answer 10

Depending on your career goals, education, etc.

I'd say be a teacher.

Answer 11

RN
