Radiology Technician before Nursing

Hi everyone,

I am intending to apply for Bachelor of Science in Nursing school. The school has a "Basic Entry" for non-nursing students which takes three years to complete. The school requires no nursing or medical experience, but I heard the waitlist may take long.

Most RN schools require applicants to complete their prerequisites before apply to their program. Because of this reason, I do not have the time to go to the two years of the RN associate degree, so my plan during the waitlist period is to go for the 2 years radiology technician liscense while waiting. My application and prerequisites for rad tech. is all set; I can enter the program next fall if I decide to.

I am not sure I am making the right decision. Any advice is welcome.
Welcome to the site! I moved your post to the Nursing Career Advice Forum so that you get better responses. Good luck to you!
While both careers are in the medical field, if you know you want to be a nurse, can you apply to other schools? I would think that few of the courses in the rad tech program would cross over to the nursing program.
