Why I Chose to Become a Nurse Instead of Being a Physician Assistant | RN or PA?

Making the decision to go to nursing school instead of PA school was a tough decision. There are so many benefits to going to either PA or Nursing school, but ultimately I chose to go to RN school.

With the guidance of my mentor, he persuaded and guided me into choosing the nursing route.

In this video, I go over MY TOP 5 REASON WHY I CHOSE TO BECOME A RN OVER A PA.

Again this is my opinion but definitely think about these reasons.

I hope you enjoy it!

I was considering being a PA but I’m now consider going for an accelerated BSN and getting my RN. I graduated with a bachelors in bio and psych in 2020 and am currently in a masters program but I’m not really happy with it at the moment.

Had you been accepted into PA school, do you think you would have still gone the nursing route? I am accepted to both an a PA program and an ABSN program and can't decide. In my area there are very rarely PA jobs, but usually lots of RN jobs. I own a house here and don't want to move, so I'm leaning the RN route, but don't want to regret the decision in the future.

This is exactly what sold me on going the NP route when I was thinking about PA school. A sleep medicine NP let me know about all of the same benefits your talking about in comparison to a PA. It was easy for me to decide! Thank you so much for the video!

What if you become a nurse get your bsn, and then decide to go into PA school. After becoming a PA would you still be able to go back and work as an RN ?

Do you feel that the market is being flooded by NP's?

Does it matter where you get your BSN when applying to become an NP? I understand that experience as an RN is a lot more important, but just wondering

I am going to graduate with my microbiology degree this fall and after deciding I wasn't going to become a scientist and do lab work I considered PA school. My gpa is a 3.4 so a little low for it. The process to become a PA would have involved me working at least 1000 hours as an CNA, volunteer experiences, and some leadership opportunities. With my gpa I estimated it would likely to take at least 2-4 tries to get in based on similar applicants on Reddit. I would have to work a year before for my first application for PA school at 24. I'm 22 right now. Then I started thinking why work as a CNA for years when I could just be an RN in the same time.

I live in California so I realized nurses make almost the same amount of money as PAs here. By next year I can already apply to at least 2 schools around where I live with one school I'm guaranteed to get into (granted I get good grades in the prereqs). I would start school in 2022 or 2023 which I am much more comfortable with then the risk I'm taking to only maybe get into PA school on 1st attempt. Also I've personally experienced some issues with how doctors have treated and diagnosed me so I thought do I really want that responsibility in my life if I have to diagnose people.

Hi Darty, thank you for the advise! I do have a question. In your video you said if you were to get fired as a NP you can go back working as a RN. Does this mean you have you keep both your NP and RN licenses? How does that work? Wouldn't you need to work as a NP and RN to keep your licenses? Or does working as a NP would cover the continous education for a RN so both licenses can be renewed?

Thank you

Nurses don't run anything in hospitals! Top management are usually MDs, MBAs etc but not RNs. There are more nursing jobs available because nursing sucks (non NP nursing). It's a myth that some how NPs have "greater autonomy" than PAs both professions are pretty much equal and most job listings will state either or, that's misleading. The medical lobby in this country is extremely powerful and works very closely with state governments to make sure that advanced practiced nursing professions are stifled. It's Easier to get into nursing school because it's not very selective. And of course someone who is already a nurse will tell you to be a nurse because misery loves company.
