Both professions are great! It is all about what you want to specialize in. With nursing, there are so many different avenues you can venture into with this degree, as well as, with respiratory therapy. Whether it is administration, education, or a specialized field within that profession. The education is similar, but the focus is mostly on what you will be doing. For example: with nursing you can either work in every department or be based in one specific area and with respiratory therapy, it is the same.
