I think it really depends on location and specialty. Because when I moved from NYC to the Philadelphia suburbs, I encountered the exact opposite. I work in OB/GYN as a PA. And when I applied to all of the Philadelphia hospitals, they only wanted NPs and midwives. None of the hospitals were interested in hiring PAs. I finally found a job and unfortunately it didn't work out. I was the first PA they ever hired on L&D. And even after I left, they still only hired NPs. Every job listing in OB/GYN I saw only said WHNP. And it definitely was a little upsetting that the docs only seemed interested in working with NPs. So I guess it comes down to location & specialty

I have worked in California and Texas. PA have a lot of job opportunities in California while NP thrives in Texas. NP and PA can work in the ER, Urgent care and stand alone clinics and make money $80.00 to $90.00 through Envision Physician services
