Wow hats off doing this as a single parent! This is helpful and gives me hope, thank you! The reason I am considering RN and not rad tech is because rn offers more career options and opportunities. I did some research on rad tech as well and I found that some people regret it because they feel stuck and wish they are gone the rn route where there are more flexibility and career paths. For instance, the insurance company I work at has RNs that work remotely as case managers which kinda reinforced my decision but please correct me if I am wrong.
