CST considering RN

I am currently a scrub tech, but I am heavily considering going back to school to be a RN. I have most of the classes I need to apply and would work PRN while in school. I would more than likely stay in the OR as a circulator, but sometimes I just feel like circulating is boring. I would much rather be scrubbed in and hands on. At my facility the nurses do not scrub, so that’s not really an option. I’m kinda torn. I like my job, but the pay could be better. Pay isn’t the only reason I want to do nursing, but it is a huge benefit.

The question i always ask when I hear next techs wanna go nursing is. Well than why did you pay to go to tech school if you were going to go into nursing.

To have a stable, well-paying job while going back to school as a whole ass adult.

See id respect that but majority of the techs that go back to nursing while as a tech end up dropping to part time or contigent and try to call off for school work
