Help Choosing A Pathway!

Help! I'm a PCT of 11 years & already have my B.S. degree in Health Sciences. I'm debating between going PA or RN. I don't know what direction to go.

If I went PA: Would only need 2 more pre-req to apply. Then 2-yr. program. (Tougher to get in)

If I went RN: Already done with all pre-req. Would have to get another B.S. degree & then go on to NP. (2 yrs. plus another 2 yrs. for NP) Easier to get in.

I want to see pts. in the clinic, write scripts, round in hospital and diagnose.

I recently applied to a concurrent adn/bsn program and didn't get in. 200 applied for 89 spots. I'm so discouraged and don't know what to do. I however, have to apply again, next round. I'm 34 and need to make a move very soon!

Thank you!

    You made it clear that you have no desire to work as an RN. Do not waste your time with nursing school at this point.

    Go for PA! You already have the healthcare experience (11 years is awesome), have a Bachelors degree, and just need two more classes. In the time it would take to get your BSN, you could be a PA! It would take twice as long to become an NP, which would be frustrating since being a provider is your main goal. Best of luck!
