which one has more job opportunities and which one is better to do? Nursing or Pharmacy?

Answers:
It depends on what level of nursing you go into. RN's make up to 30 dollars an hour and it usually takes two years of college. Medical assistants make 10 to 14 dollars an hour depends on years of experience. I am a medical assistant and went to school for two years. If you go to school to be a pharmacist it takes I think 6 years but you can make lots of money.

Pharmacy requires a doctrate now.

i would choose nursing.

---

Both are very good, Pharmacy will pay more - if you are the owner.

---

pharmacy and it pays good too.

---

they are both big fields. Nursing is probably the bigger of the two, as there is so much need for them. But Pharmacy will pay you more. And you will also pay more to go to school for it.

---

Pharmacy.
No bed pans, dying people whining at you for stuff, and pukey babies (of all ages).
You deal with a lot of old people though. Still, it's better than bodily fluids.

nursing!

Nurses are needed everywhere and make good money. Pharmecists spend a long time in school, they find jobs fairly easily and make major bank. So, it depends on how long you want to stay in school and how much you want to make later on.

In the US, nurses are in short supply. They are often offered a large ($1000-3000) sign on bonus, and RN's make as much as $40 per hour.
HOWEVER---it is very hard work, and the profession has a high rate of burnout.
If you can handle pressure and emotions, be a nurse. If not, be a pharmacist.

Being a pharmacist pays better but you have to go to school longer. Being a nurse right now allows you to pick and choose where you work, but I think it is much harder work. I've heard it is typical in nursing to work long shifts, not have enough help and to generally be running from beginning to end. Which one is better? It depends on what your interests are and what would be the most rewarding for you.

I think Nursing, there is never enough good nurses

Job opportunities are about equal. Which is better to do? What do like to do yourself - give advice or give a hand? Count pills or count swabs? Would you like to be part of a surgical team? Would you like to be in charge of your own business? Descriptions
