Nurse Practitioner Gen req

Hello, I am a rad/ct tech who is really interested in becoming a nurse practitioner. I am at a fork in the road between becoming an NP or a PA?

What is the difference and is the job market oversaturated? I live in Michigan and have heard this from multiple friends?

regardless, both would take about the same time for me to achieve because I dont have a bachelors and if I went through the nursing route was planning on doing an accelerated bsn but with NP at least I get a marketable skill along the way that I know I will be employable

    An accelerated BSN program without a prior 4 year degree? Are you sure about that?

    Yeah, I've spoken to the advisor, if you have so many credits and healthcare experience. I have my associates and the program is 1 year and 18 months, I believe. It's at Madonna University

    There are no general education requirements per se. The requirement for an NP program is a BSN with an active RN license. The other requirements are letters of recommendation, an essay, a resume or CV, and an interview. Then it is approximately 3 years of school beyond that. A lot of NPs are starting to get a DNP or going right through to DNP. There is talk of making the DNP entry level degree for the NP. Hope this helps.
