Hello! I’m in a tricky situation and would appreciate any input. I’m currently 25 and enrolled in an accelerated BSN program. I graduate in 6 months. My plan was to become a PA or NP and I was recently accepted into PA school. I’m equally open to both professions and have no preference. I’m having second thoughts about PA because the PA program would be having me ~150k in debt and I won’t be able to make money while in PA school for 2-2.5 years. I’m trying to make the optimal financial decision with school and limit debt. Would it be better to take a year and work and try to get into NP school or take the PA school offer? If this even means anything, I attend a public RN program which has several NP programs and my grades are about a 3.3-3.4. Thank you very much, I truly appreciate all input.
