Physician Assistant vs. Nurse Which would you choose?

[kgard7777]

I am trying to weigh my options if I should become a Nurse or a PA? I am currently in the medical field but not with patient care and I make a pretty good living doing it. However, I would like to do patient care but more on the diagnosis and treatment level. Nevertheless,there is still a small part of me that would rather become a nurse due to the job opportunities and flexibility plus it won't take as long to do the program.

So ladies please help me ? pros/ cons?
