Best Answer

A psych tech requires hardly any training. They are the "laborers" of the psych wards. They hardly get paid anything and they probly have to deal with the most with unruly patients. A nurse on the other hand is educated on practically every aspect of health. They get paid quite well, and there are so many different nursing fields. Psych nurse, trauma nurse, ER nurse, triage nurse, ICU nurse, Baby ICU, pediatrics, Chemo nurse, Radiation oncology nurse, Radiology nurse, cath lab nurse, even insurance companies hire nurses for their health screenings.
