I talked to a friend who was thinking either going to nursing program or PA program. She said someone told her the PA program is more difficult coz PA have to learn both medical stuff and nursing stuff. Also, PA take doctors' order and then they order nurses. I'm a nursing student and I have never heard that before from any of my instuctors:confused: . Personally, I don't think they have the authority to give order to any NP or RN. My friend also said that PA earn much more than nurses. If compared PA with LPN, it might be true. But if compared PA with NP, that might not be the case. Anyone here knows more about that? I appreciate for the input.
