Advice! Nursing or Medical radiation science

I got accepted to both, and I’m 95% sure I want to commit to medical radiation sciences. But part of me is scared I’ll regret not doing nursing. Here are the pros and cons

Med rad: (radiation therapy)

Pros:
-I see my self enjoying this more
- work and life balance 9-5 job, I really don’t want to do night shifts
-I’m really interested in working with cancer patients and interested in the treatments etc

Cons:
-I’m scared I won’t get into radiation therapy
-no change, I’ll be doing the same job for the rest of my life

Nursing

Pros
-diff specialties
-pays good
-helping patients in a different way

Cons
-I REALLY hate bed side nursing
-Really hate night shifts
