Cardiovascular tech vs RN

I was considering changing my major from RN to Cardiovascular Tech. Does anyone know the pay rate difference between the two?
What is a cardiovascular tech? Do you mean someone who watches the monitors on a tele or step down unit? If so the pay is probably significantly less for the cardiovascular tech.

A CVT is below a nurse. At least in my experience. It would be a pay cut. When I was a CVT I made around $15/hr. I loved the job, but my wrists hated me.

At my facility, the RNs earn more than the respiratory folks, the radiology folks, and the PT folks... and much more than the various techs.

Contrary to what everyone says...I live on the West Coast where nurse wages are the highest and the RT, ultrasound/x-ray/CT, OR folks make just as much or more than the RNs and their quality of life/ burnout rates IMO are much better.

I too live on the west coast and none our techs make what the equivalent nurse makes. Maybe just because we're union.
