Thank you both very much for your opinions. I will check out that link. I personally have seen jobs listed with requests for NP/PA. However, just today, I saw one for Crittenton that specifically mentioned NP, so I got confused. I think they wanted to stress the fact that the NP had to have a BSN first. I imagine that if I have a BSN plus a PA degree, that would be acceptable to them too. I may call the hospital to ask, just for my own curiosity.

Hi, I was thinking of eventually becoming a Physician Assistant. I was looking up jobs at hospitals and saw some that ask for a Nurse Practitioner, such as at Crittenton Hospital in Michigan. Do you know if a job that asks for a NP can automatically be filled by a PA? Or are there big differences between these two titles, so that one degree cannot replace the other from a Human Resources perspective? Thanks.

Actually, I'm now seriously starting to think it is a typo and supposed to be SGOT because the normal values for SGOT are 10 to 34 IU/L. This is according to this site http://health.allrefer.com/health/ast-values.html Also these enzymes are found in heart tissue and this case study has to do with myocardial infarction. http://www.dalesplace.net/lab_values.php http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081220093659AAHfg7Y Thanks! I think the SGOT may actually be it.

Thanks for trying. The specific case study I'm working on can also be found at this link FYI http://www.rmf.harvard.edu/case-studies/specialty-reference/cardiology/discharged-ED-before-MI-death.aspx Since the case study is apparently from harvard, I'm thinking they really meant to write HGOT.

Hi, I'm working on a case study for school. It says that part of a patient's lab results reveals HGOT 14. However, I've searched the internet and nothing is telling me what this abbreviation stands for. The closest I got to an answer is that HGO stands for hepatic glucose output at this site http://www.jdmd.com/glossary/ Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps HGO means the same thing as HGOT, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance.
