Difference Between RNFA and Surg. PA?

[saltydad]

Hi all. I've been reviewing some of the threads and find I have some confusion concerning the differences between these 2 professions. Outside of the fact that the RNFA seems to build on the circulating and scrub RN duties before going on for FA duties, what are the differences? I'm currently getting my RN, but previously worked in the military as an extended duty medic, and considered PA vs. RN programs. I do NOT want to start a big deal about quality here or turf battles, but am looking for some basic facts. Thanks to all.
