Greetings! I've been a PA for twenty years and currently work Hospitalist PA in Washington, D.C. It's a GREAT profession! I'm happy to see a new generation of young people embracing Physician Assistant as a career choice! 👋🏾👨🏽⚕️
I’m a high school student about to go into junior year. I was set on becoming a doctor since Middle school, but for a while, I’ve been researching the pa profession and it seems to be everything I’ve wanted! When I get to college, I really want to shadow as soon as I can, so I can be sure it’s what I really want, but right now, I’m excited for the journey!
That's what I was thinking. For all the money she's paying to be just a PA at Stanford she would have been better off just going to med school to become a doctor.
Agreed. Undergrad was definitely worth it for me in terms of social life, networks, location, etc. However, for Med/PA, I doubt it's really worth the cost.
Thank you!! Finally someone else talking about this. I wouldn’t mind taking out that ~300k for their GSB program. But for PA? I don’t think it’s worth it, especially if you’re not planning on going into research and academics.
Lol well community college and transferred to a university to get a bachelors. You need a bachelors to become a PA. In her case she transferred to Berkeley and got her Chem degree, then applied to Stanford
@@homersimpson9784 Believe it or not Associate Degrees from Juco are tickets to get into almost any college you want... As long as you finish, your chances are great. My cousin finished all of her main classes and had a 4.0 GPA, but didn't graduate and tried to transfer to USC... I on the other hand, had a 3.1 but I graduated and I got in and she didn't.
Adaeze Njoku my girlfriend literally has never gone to class. We live in Texas and her DNP program is in Arizona... all she does is write papers pretty much.
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.
thanks for the heads up. I was questioning if I should just get a BSN and go to NP school cause I keep hearing that they're preferred over PA's. I wasn't 100% sure if the schooling was actually worse than PA schools though
@@ferdlc7757 I thought about majoring in biology because it would be quicker, but I have always wanted to be a nurse as well so I thought why not at least for a couple of years :)
@@Njackco that's not a bad idea, you'll have a job to fall back on in case you don't get accepted right away. It's one of the things that sucks with getting a degree in something like biology
I dunno it seems like residency may seem pretty useful to alot of people. I for one don't know how i would cope if i was throne straight into a PA role in clinic on a full working shift 😂. Residency eases you in and develops more in practice training. I think PA residencies are slowly becoming a thing and may well be established (maybe optionally) in future.
@@Darryldlowe What i mean is, residency in a specific area of medicine. For example, if you are set on becoming a PA in Surgery or a PA in Obstetrics or a PA in Derm, its nice to have longer devoted hours focusing on that one field as a didactic rotation may not be long enough to equip a person of the skills within that certain field. That way, ur not only learning on the job but you've got a lot more experience due to the residency.
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). SO Please I need some advise, what would you guys do in my shoes, I feel like I’m running out of time...
Billy Thank you man, I appreciate your words. I was also thinking that becoming a Nurse first would help me on the clinical experience needed to apply to PA school. I just wasn’t sure if that was the best option. 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.
Billy And I’m not going into PA for the money, neither I do for nursing. I just wanna be able to sustain myself and help my parents. I just love taking care of ill people, I discovered that I wanted to help people after my CNA experience. I know what will I do as a nurse and what a PA does since There were a few PA where I worked. I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.
Keep doing what you are doing. As you get older you will see that there are many ways to get into PA school, NP school, graduate school etc. don’t stress because there no one or right way. Enjoy life and do what you want to do.
Becoming a nurse will most likely help you get into PA school but why would you not take the Nurse Practitioner route? They are extremely similar jobs and it is much less competitive to get into NP school.
Rachel K I decided that I wanted to later become a PA because of the freedom of choosing an specialty, I wanna have the freedom to change areas of medicine if I want to without having to go back to school to work on that specific area, that’s why I decided to do that instead of the NP route.
There's no maximum. I would actually say that 1000 minimum is what you need to be competitive. Some schools even require more than that. Just depends on the school as some don't require them at all.

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 ( 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.
Now the guys are commenting on her appearance yet no one is calling them gold diggers while on men surgery videos women comment the same thing and get attacked calling them gold diggers. The bigotry *eye roll*
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.
