Nurse to Physician Assistant (RN to PA) - Interview with Kaynen Brown

When I asked if anyone knew of someone going from nursing to PA, you guys did not disappoint! @kaynenbrown came highly recommended, and I have to agree! He has recently been accepted to PA school, and is transitioning out of his job as an RN. But why did he choose PA instead of NP? That’s what we’re talking about today! Make sure you check out Kaynen’s TH-cam videos because he is killing it!
A little more about Kaynen - I’m 25 years old living in Las Vegas Nevada. I’m currently an ER nurse in the Las Vegas valley and have been for a little over 2 years. I make TH-cam videos about nursing and now the PA procession for current nurses/PA’s as well as students and future students of each program of study.

Kaynen’s channel helped me beyond words. I am looking to pursue PA school after my undergrad, but his channel helped me with life and motivation along with career path. Very intelligent and respectable guy!

[@ThePAPlatform]

He was so awesome to talk to!

[@tbaker8233]

This video helped me a lot!! Thank you! :)

[@nicolsontv5852]

That was a dope interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ruthbrower8152]

University of North Dakota for many years exclusively admitted RNs to their PA school. This is not a new concept. I graduated from there in 1996, and I was one of 80 in my class.

Hello! I’m currently a junior in high school and I want to become a PA which has always been my dream. I will be majoring in nursing to get my bachelors degree but I was wondering if I would need to do a year gap after getting my BSN to complete the amount of patient care hours? if so about how long would it take to complete patient care hours?

[@bigp8871]

Issamar Cruz if u work full time during the gap year U should be fine

[@dakotahvanover6477]

Does your high school or a place in your community offer a class to get your CNA? If so don’t be afraid to get it now and start building your contact hours already! Also look into other jobs such as a patient care tech, phlebotomist, and other areas where you could accuse contact hours. With you being a junior and not being 18 yet, I think CNA might be the easiest job to get considering other jobs you can’t do under 18. Good luck on your career path!

[@arrekusu9709]

Hopefully I'm not too late to advice but there are a few undergrad to PA options out there. You can definitely look into these programs and if you have the qualifying credentials you may be able to go out of highschool to doing your 4 year undergrad and then immediately going into your PA program.

[@JuanRodriguez-qk4oi]

Is the reason why she says rn to pa is a longer route because of the the classes rn programs doesn't cover? Aside from that I fail to see why it is a longer route.

[@ItsMsTeria]

I’m an lpn and I want to become an pa !

[@spreadkindness6323]

Does a PA have a lot of patient care time or is it kind of similar to the time a doctor has with a patient?

[@ThePAPlatform]

It really depends on the setting and specialty! In my position as a derm PA, it's very similar.

[@spreadkindness6323]

@@ThePAPlatform Ok, thank you so much. Do you know which specialties have more patient care time?

[@sumanmagar1141]

Which is better PA and Np

[@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061]

pa is better, in my humble opinion.

[@sumanmagar1141]

@@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061 can I get any information about Pa why better thank you

[@kiaharper7172]

Better in what way?? Lol I mean better pay? Better hours? Better educated? Happier?

[@jessicab5448]

NP is holistic care based on nursing model, more autonomy, PA supervision under a doctor, based on medical model

[@TheLinsey890]

Idk why you had to bash PCTs and CNAs
