PHYSICAL THERAPY!!!!
MY WIFE IS A NURSE , BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE SITUATIONAL CONTEXT I.E WHAT FIELD OF NURSING,
WHAT HOSPITAL , FLOOR , SHIFT ,CO-WORKERS ETC……………………..
AS FAR AS MONEY IS CONCERNED IT TO IS SITUATIONAL AS WELL.
IF YOU WANT TO BE LAZY THEN YOU MUST THINK ABOUT BEING IN RADIOLOGY.
EDIT– THE NCLEX EXAM REQUIRES A ASSOCIATES DEGREE IN NURSING SCIENCE OR HIGHER TO BE ABLE TO TEST FOR AND OBTAIN A R. N. LICENSE
Physical Therapy is good if you have kids later. My neighbor was a pediatric PT and she worked part time while her kids were in school. It was very flexible for her.
PTs probably have a less stressful job, but it really depends. You won’t get an RN with an associates. You need a bachelors. A physical therapist needs a doctorate (so that’s 7-8 years total).
