    I'm a few months away from finishing my nurse practitioner residency in family medicine and wish I would've went for my PA instead. Nobody tells you that at the cost of increased independent practice authority compared to PAs you aren't taught (at at least very little) surgical and other acute care experience unless you pick the specialty of acute care/emergency NP. Being a PA you don't take specialty boards like a physician or NP and makes you a well-rounded generalized practitioner who sees a little bit of everything in both primary and acute care without confining yourself to a specialty (if you don't want to). I think it should be required, as it is with PAs and physicians, that all NPs go through surgical training as part of their core curriculum. It's a damn shame because as an NP then you're teaching yourself either on the job through another provider or in your spare time to do acute care such as suturing, nail avulsion, etc...I fucking hate the nursing model of everything it's so stupid even though 90-99% of the time in most settings (even acute care) you're performing the same things as a PA, you'll be in NP school scratching your head...my advice: if you're a nurse like me who wanted to become a provider skip NP because it's the most logical route and just go to PA or med school.

    PLEASE READ!!!.... Guys I need Advise...Right now my mind is a whole mess. I know that I wanna do something inside the Healthcare field but I don’t really know what in specific I wanna do. I got my CNA certificate during the summer and I worked about 6 months on a Nursing Facility and I loved it, It was my first time having a real experience with patients, after that I decided that I wanted to become a Registered Nurse. Right now I am going to a Community College and I am gonna go for my ADN first because of my circumstances. I Am 20 years old and I’m gonna try to complete the pre-reqs as fast as possible so I can get into the program earlier. And hopefully I find a ADN to BSN or a ADN to MSN program in my stare (Texas).
    The real Dilema here is that I don’t know whether I wanna stick to nursing the whole time, I do wanna work as a nurse for some years ( on my 20’s) , and then I would like to Become a PA later when I decide to have a family. But I just don’t know if being a Nurse first will affect me on a negative way when I apply to a PA school in the future. I been thinking a lot about it lately and I can’t attend to a 4 year University this year because of my special circumstances (I just moved to Texas and I’m considered out of state for a year and tuition is insane).

My family financial situation isn’t the best right now, that’s also a factor of me deciding to become a nurse first, so I can finish within 4-5 years and be 25 and finally being able to sustain myself , then I would be able to at least pay the pre-req classes by myself and not being a burden to my parents.

      From what i understand, PAs and MDs play the same role for the most part in hospitals. You can go to the hospital and only ever see the PA (which is okay because they are very well trained) but once a patient has a condition that is outside the scope of practice that a PA is capable of that is when they hand it off to their supervising physician.
      If you know how ambulances works, ( im my opinion) a PA is to the MD as an EMT is to the paramedic on an ambulance.

      PA = 3 years of training
      - Assistant
      MD = training never stops (minimum 7 years)
      - Boss

      PA ( bachelors + 2 years of PA school )
      MD (bachelor's + 4 years of medical school + 3-7 years of residency (depends on speciality) + optional 1-2 years of fellowship
      PAs essentially have the same roles as doctors but PAs do not have the same level of education and training as a doctor. This means that in certain circumstances they will need to get something approved or passed off to a doctor in order to treat a patient. The autonomy of a PA varies from job to job.

    You can tell that the student Laura, is very OCD or just EXTREMeLY structured and a perfectionist.
    Seems like the type who would have a melt down if she doesn't get a A or better
    Plus, I can see that she is the type that will definitely have many walls up when interacting with her patients and staff in the future. Wont wanna get into an argument with her :/

    • @lookupsensation
      @lookupsensation 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      thekidthatsurvived the big difference is that an RN cannot write prescription. Cannot see patients on their own unless they are an NP (graduate level nursing). The main difference between nursing and any mid level providers (PA,NP) or MDs is a focus on diagnostics, being able to diagnose diseases/conditions/etc. While the philosophy of a nurse is more directly involved in the comfort and care of the patient. Mid levels and MDs won’t get the vitals themselves, change dressings, check up on ADL for the patient, etc. That is what nurses do

      @@tannercassel2173 false. PA have autonomy. Just as much as an NP. The difference is Nurses (RN, NP) are based on a patient-centered model and PA's are based on a disease-centered model. Yes NP can technically run their own practice but that's really only primary care (Depends on the state). PA is more comparable to an MD or DO than an NP is. That's why you see them more with specialists. and you see more NP in primary care.

      As a PA student I am here to say that they do have autonomy. The difference btw PAs and NP is that PAs can prescribe narcotics, and the can easily switch specialties whereas NPs mostly have to go back to school and be recertified to switch a specialty. But PAs have their own patients, prescribe and diagnose.
